Competition: ‘Where I am at’

To celebrate the launch of the brand new Sheffield Mental Health Guide, we're holding a competition.

Blank polariods

On January 15th we’re launching the new Sheffield Mental Health Guide. January 15th is known as ‘Blue Monday’ – the saddest day of the year. We hope our website will make it that little bit easier to navigate the lows that life brings.

We’ve seen the value of sharing our different experiences of mental health through working on Sheffield Flourish. We also want to hear your experiences – good and bad – to keep the conversation going.

So, we’re launching a competition.

The competition

Please send us a photo which shows what you want to say about mental health today – where you’re at. Your images could be about your mental health, or local/national issues, or anything you think is interesting, important or relevant. Feel free to be creative or unusual if that’s your style.

Please send submissions by December 11th to [email protected], including:

  • Your photo
  • 50 words describing it
  • Your name and email address

Why take part

We will announce the prizewinner at our launch on January 15th, which is taking place at The Workstation. Details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/129989424374079/

The winning entry will be given one of Sheffield’s own wonderful Buddy Boxes, and their photo will be used on the front of a report about our relaunch.

We’ll be showing all the entries at the launch. Where possible we’ll also use the photos on our website in the future, helping us build a more meaningful and representative website.
