The Mervyn Peake Awards – for Photography, Poetry and Art

These awards celebrate the creativity of people with Parkinson’s Disease and are open to anyone in the UK with the condition.

Mervyn Peake (1911-1968) was an illustrator, writer and poet who overcame Parkinson’s Disease to produce work that created a world of fantasy. He is best known for his ‘Gormenghast Trilogy’.

His family developed the Mervyn Peake Awards in his honour.

To learn more, and to see some of the winning entries go to the Parkinson’s Disease Society web-site ‘News and Events’ and ‘Special Events’ page.
