International Year of the Nurse and Midwife Creative Exhibition Showcase!

Did you know that 2020 is Florence Nightingale’s bicentennial year, designated by World Health Organisation as the first ever global Year of the Nurse and Midwife! Nurses and Midwives, including those here at the University of Huddersfield, have made a vital contribution in this extraordinarily difficult year.

We’re inviting children and young people from around the world to help us celebrate the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife via an online exhibition! Tell us what nurses and midwives mean to you by drawing a picture, writing a poem, creating a story, using photography, knitting, making a craft…..be as creative as you like!

Criteria for submission:
• Please avoid including people’s faces in any photographs. If any photographs include the faces of individuals these will be pixilated/blurred to ensure anonymity.
• Submissions must be produced by children and young people aged 16 and under
• Submissions must celebrate nurses and midwives
• Submissions don’t have to refer to COVID-19, unless you want it to.
• Maximum of 2 submissions per child

Once you’ve created your piece, snap it or scan it (or if it’s a poem/story simply type it up) and send it to celebrateNHS@hud.ac.uk. We plan to publish all submissions online (on this website), on media channels, in print and (if written), audibly so that they’re available for everyone to see and hear, but it’s important that we obtain your permission to do this.

Please note

By emailing your submission, you are consenting for us to publish it, and its content, in the online exhibition, on media channels, in print and (if written) audibly.
We do not need any identifying information to accompany your submission, but you can provide the first name and age of the child/young person so you will be acknowledged. Please provide the county/state and country if you wish to do so. By submitting this information, you are consenting for us to publish it in the online exhibition, on media channels, in print and (if written) audibly.
Once submitted, you will not be able to withdraw the submission from the online exhibition, media channels, print or audio.
Once submitted, we will delete your email address.
If you would like to use the submissions in academic (research and teaching) and other not-for-profit work you are welcome to. However, please acknowledge this online exhibition and provide a link to it. Any other use is not allowed.
The Creative Exhibition Showcase has received ethical approval from the School of Human & Health Sciences Research Ethics and Integrity Committee.
