We're very excited to announce the return of the PQN Art Competition!
We are looking for artwork submissions from mothers either currently accessing your services, or who have been recently discharged. The art competition is a great activity to get mothers involved in. Submissions can be in the form of any visual art that you can scan/take a photo of to email to us, such as paintings, drawings, photography, digital art etc.
The first prize is a £20 gift voucher and second prize is a £10 gift voucher. The winning piece will also be published across the front pages on PQN publications and reports for our next review cycles.
Please send all artwork submissions with the owner's first name and artwork title to perinatal-chat@rcpsych.ac.uk by the deadline Friday 01 October 2024. Please ensure you do not include the full name of patients on the submissions, and obtain consent for their first name and artwork title to be displayed.
