Get creative and enter Our Havering Heroes competition to win fantastic prizes!

With almost £1,000 in prizemoney up for grabs, the competition aims to bring the community together during these unprecedented times.

Youngsters are being asked to get creative to showcase someone in their neighbourhood who inspires them or who has made a positive impact on their lives. This could be a family member, pet, friend, teacher, doctor, nurse, postman – anyone they would call their own personal Hero!

Entries can be in any creative form such as artwork, poetry, a short story, a musical performance or photography – and the winners will be chosen by a panel of judges consisting of the Mayor of Havering, representatives from the Met Police, Havering Council and the NHS.

All competition entries will be showcased in a special portfolio at The Havering Museum for visitors to view and will be uploaded to our website.

There are some great prizes up for grabs. We are giving the overall winner a £100 voucher with another £100 cash going towards their school. The runner-up will receive a £75 voucher with £75 cash for their school and the third place will receive a £60 voucher with £60 in cash for their school.

There are also 10 prizes of £50 vouchers for the highly commended entrants. All winners will receive Certificates of Achievement presented by the Mayor of Havering in his Chambers, once it is safe to do so.
