During the past four years we have received nearly 2,500 entries to our competition from experienced writers and photographers and from people who have shared the ups and downs of their caring roles for the first time. As you’ll see, these winning and commended entries address all the emotions involved in looking after a loved one and record and celebrate some of life’s most vivid, challenging and memorable moments.

We would like to thank our judges, Cheryl Moskowitz and Bella West. We are also thankful to the following organisations for promoting the competition: The Poetry Society, The Reading Agency, The Poetry Library, The Poetry School, Poetry London and The Society of Authors.
