We are looking for creative submissions to add to our digital exhibition, ‘The Future of Care’.

We’d like submissions for people of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of interaction/experience with adult social care – while IMPACT is an adult social care implementation centre, we’re inclusive and collaborative. As a centre, we have a particular interest in seldom-heard voices so would particularly welcome your submission if you feel this applies to you.

We’d like submissions that explore what care means to you, and what you think care might look like in the future (from a vision of integrated health and social care services to something more abstract and futuristic, robots perhaps!). A key theme of this year’s festival is ‘my local area’, which you’re welcome to consider in your creative responses to the themes.

We’re looking for all kinds of creativity: drawings or painting, photography, short stories, poems, sculpture, short films, lyrics, and more.

Pieces will be on public display in our digital exhibition, held on the IMPACT website, so please keep this in mind if you decide to submit. There are options to anonymise your entry, but please do get the consent of anyone that features in your work – we may follow up with you on this ahead of the exhibition.

All pieces and bios submitted will be included in our digital exhibition, held on the IMPACT website, and shared with our list of newsletter subscribers and partners.

If you would like to submit, please provide details of your submission through the form below – it should take about 3-5 minutes. You’ll then be able to share photos of your submission over email.
