Love in London 2020

Love in London 2020

This year, we have decided to partner with Love in London to help them raise funds for leading UK relationships charity Relate through their photo and video competition, set up to celebrate love, diversity and unity in our beautiful city!

This city-wide campaign aims to promote positivity and happiness by uniting the city in a wave of love of by asking people to submit their images celebrating love and displaying them on billboards across the capital.

First established in 2018, the competition was set up by CLiKD Dating App in order to promote love and positivity in a testing year for London which saw the Grenfell disaster and Terrorist attacks.  The campaign inspired the capital seeing hundreds of entries and an outpouring of support and donations from individuals and companies across London. In the end the winning photo, Scott Hamilton’s “Snuggle”, received coverage in 17 countries, promoting the capital’s status as a champion of LGBT rights (see previous Love in London Winners).

Not only raising spirits with the competition but also raising funds, a £3 contribution will go to Relate with each entry.  Relate is the leading relationships charity and the largest provider of relationship support in England and Wales. Offering counselling, information, mediation and support to individuals, couples and families, they work face-to-face, online and on the phone with people of all backgrounds and sexualities at all stages of life.

The competition has six categories including: Love London, Love What You Do, Love Your Community, Love Your Partner, Love Your Friends and Love Your Animals. Photos will be judged by a panel of judges, and this year sees the addition of a new video category.

There are up to £5000 worth of prizes on offer, with winning photos set to be displayed across London billboards. The competition closes on the 29th of March with applicants encouraged to enter via the Love In London website.

Aidan Jones, CEO of Relate, added: “I’m delighted that Relate is the charity partner of this year’s Love in London competition. As well as celebrating the importance of love in its many different forms, the initiative will also help us to continue supporting the nation’s relationships throughout 2020. Relate is proud to be changing lives everyday through our counselling, information, mediation and support, available face-to-face, online and on the phone for people of all backgrounds and sexualities at all stages of life.”

So if you have a camera and want to spread a little bit of love across the capital there is no chance than now to make an impact.
