Calling all young people!

About

Throughout May and June, NSI are running a creative arts competition as part of the Invictus UK Trials, which is delivered by a partnership of Help for Heroes, the Royal British Legion, the Ministry of Defence and Sheffield City Council, scheduled to be held in Sheffield in July later this year.

They are inviting all young people aged 9-18 from across Sheffield together with those attending the Trials to reflect on your family’s / your community’s experience of conflict, currently or throughout history and the sacrifices both the Armed Forces and civilians make at times of war and respond creatively through a poem, a speech, a song, or a piece of art.

The competition deadline is Friday 28th June, entries may be submitted online or by post. Every entrant will receive a very special personalised certificate of commendation and will be entered into our international competition, launching this September. 

Winning work will be showcased in Sheffield during the week of the Trials, from 22nd to 26th July, including a special certificate-giving event.
