Vision for Education is delighted to once again be sponsoring engage in their future’s National Creative Awards. Since its launch in 2015, the National Creative Awards has received hundreds of entries, celebrated nearly 300 winners and given students from member schools the opportunity to express their creativity on a national platform.

For 2022, the theme ‘Mental Wealth’ has been selected to help support both students and staff with their mental health and emotional wellbeing through creativity and self-expression. Entries can be in the form of a short story, photography, poetry, art - or a combination of all four.

Will Washington, Vision for Education’s Director of SEND, is thrilled to be working closely with engage in their future for the sixth year running and said: “The quality of the entries never fails to astound us, and we love to see the young people express themselves across the different art forms. The National Creative Awards allows us to celebrate their talents and hopefully spurs them to take these subjects further both at school and in their future careers."

Everyone who submits an entry will receive a certificate to acknowledge their effort and participation, and Vision for Education will visit the schools of all competition winners to present them with their winning trophy and certificate.

Winning entries will be chosen based on their creativity and adherence to the theme. The closing date for entries is Friday 29^th April 2022. For more information about getting involved and ideas and inspiration, please visit www.engageintheirfuture.org/events/nca.
