The Sanctuary Foundation’s No Place Like Home competition prize-giving ceremony returns to the Library for a third year, in celebration of Refugee Week.

The annual art and poetry competition encourages children and young people to empathise with others their age who have had to leave their homes due to conflict or natural disaster, or to express their own lived experience of this. Entries will be judged by a fantastic panel of celebrities, refugees and journalists.

To be informed when tickets are released, please email schools@bl.uk with the subject: 15 June 2026 event.
