Mervyn Peake Awards 2010

Celebrating the creativity of people with Parkinson's

Launched by the Parkinson's Disease Society and the Peake family in 2002, the Mervyn Peake Awards celebrate the creative achievements of people with Parkinson's in art, poetry and photography.

The awards are held in memory of the late illustrator, writer and poet Mervyn Peake (1911-1968), who developed Parkinson's in later life.

The organisers welcome entries from anybody with Parkinson's, in 3 categories:

Art
Poetry
Photography

They hope you feel inspired to take part whether you are an experienced artist or you simply feel like trying something new.

A cash prize is kindly offered to the winner of each category through the generosity of the Peake family.

The deadline for all entries is Wednesday 31 March 2010.
