Richard Flint Awards
Richard Flint Awards 2025
The Richard Flint Awards celebrate the creativity and artistic expression of polio survivors across the UK.
Founded through a generous legacy left to the Fellowship by Richard Flint, these awards were created to encourage members to embrace their artistic talents and share their creativity with others. Each year, polio survivors are invited to enter work in three categories:
- Poetry
- Photography
- Art
Prizes are awarded in each category:
- 1st place – £250
- 2nd place – £150
- 3rd place – £75
Entries for the 2025 competition closed at the end of August 2025. Thank you to everyone who took part — your creativity continues to inspire us all.
