Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is inviting people across Derby and Derbyshire to take part in its 2026 art competition, themed ‘A Ray of Hope’. Using any two-dimensional medium – including paint, pencil, collage, ink or textiles – entrants are encouraged to explore what a ‘ray of hope’ means to them through art. Artwork can be created individually or collaboratively, with the competition celebrating creativity while raising awareness of the Trust’s services.
The competition is open to service users, carers, children, Trust members, Derbyshire Healthcare staff, stakeholders, partner organisations and voluntary sector organisations.
To enter, photograph your finished artwork and email it, along with a completed entry form and a short statement (up to 200 words) explaining your work, to dhcft.membership@nhs.net.
