Never Such Innocence wants young people to share their reflections on conflict and give a voice to those who may not have one. Some examples of an ‘unheard voice’ could include: a personal family story relating to conflict, refugees fleeing from their homes or the feelings of a service child who has a parent deployed.

The international competition features four categories: Poetry, Art, Speech and Song and is open to young people aged 9-18.

Winners in the four categories will be invited to participate in unique experiences and every entrant will receive a special certificate of commendation for their work.
