Let's Talk Derby is inviting young people across the city, aged between 5 and 18, to get creative and submit a piece of artwork for Pride Month 2025.
The theme of Pride Month 2025 is ‘Activism and Social Change’, so they are looking for creative pieces that reflect that theme. It's a great chance to express your thoughts on making the world a more equal and inclusive place!
Competition finalists will have their artwork featured in a public exhibition at Derby Market Hall from Monday 1 September to Friday 12 September. The winner, who will be announced on Saturday 13 September at Derby Pride, will win a £50 Derbion Voucher and their artwork will be framed and displayed in the Council House.
Pride Month is a time to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community, promoting kindness, acceptance, and equality for everyone, no matter who they are. It helps raise awareness about the challenges LGBTQ+ people face and reminds us all of the importance of standing up for each other’s rights.
Pride Month encourages everyone to be proud of who they are and to create a more inclusive world where everyone feels valued.
How to take part:
You can create a painting, drawing, digital art, poem, photograph, or any other two-dimensional medium.
