Create artwork to inspire blood donation
Every day, the NHS needs nearly 5,000 life-saving blood donations. NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) want your help to spread the message and enlist more donor heroes, in line with the message: “Be a hero, join our community of blood donors. Ready to help when your NHS needs you”.
Create inspiring artwork to encourage a new community of NHS blood donors.
Create bold and uplifting artwork that rallies people to join the community of blood donors and help the NHS when they are needed. The NHS particularly needs more people of black heritage to help patients with sickle cell, people who have O negative, B negative or A negative blood groups and male donors to come forward.
5 pieces of work will be chosen by the judging panel as Selected Creators, please see the incentives below.
