Digital Care Hub has launched its first ever photo competition – a chance to celebrate the people, places and moments that show digital care in action across adult social care.
We want to see the images that tell your story: someone using technology to stay connected, a care worker trying a new digital tool, a team using data to make care safer, or a small everyday moment that captures confidence, independence or creativity.
As our Chief Executive, Michelle Corrigan, said:
“Stories are at the heart of care. They help us understand what matters to people, what makes a difference, and how digital tools can support better lives and better care. A powerful image can capture warmth, dignity, confidence, innovation and human connection in a way that words sometimes cannot.
“This competition is about giving people a creative way to show the brilliant work happening every day. We hope it inspires you to look around, notice those special moments, and share the images that bring your digital care story to life. It is time to get creative.”
How to enter
Entries are open now. The closing date is 5pm, Friday 4 September.
We welcome entries from people drawing on care, carers, care workers and care providers. Technology and digital suppliers cannot enter themselves, but they can encourage others to take part and share their stories.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for photographs that show how technology is supporting people drawing on care and those delivering care. Your photo could show:
- technology supporting people’s independence, safety or wellbeing
- everyday consumer technology being used safely to support care, connection or independence
- digital tools helping care workers, teams or services
- connection, communication or community
- training, learning, confidence or new ways of working
- data making care safer, more personalised or more joined up.
Please make sure everyone who is identifiable in a photo has given informed consent – you will need to complete and submit our competition consent form.
Entries will be judged by colleagues from Digital Care Hub, competition sponsors – Nourish, and Digital Care Summit media partner – Care Management Matters.
Prizes and exhibition
Shortlisted photographs will be exhibited at our Digital Care Summit London on 23 September, where the winners will also be announced.
- First prize: a half-day professional photo shoot and a print of your entry.
- Second prize: £150 in photography-related vouchers of your choice, and a print of your entry.
- Third prize: £75 in photography-related vouchers of your choice, and a print of your entry.
The exhibition will shine a light on the creativity, compassion and innovation taking place across the sector, and show digital care through the eyes of the people delivering and experiencing it every day.
We are grateful to our competition sponsor, Nourish, and our media partner, CMM, for supporting the competition and helping us celebrate the stories behind the images.
