Further to the exciting involvement of Peterborough Regional College from January and significant interest from other colleges in recent weeks – we have decided to extend the closing date to 15th March 2015.
This gives you all an additional few weeks to submit your entries and we look forward to receiving them 🙂
Only hours after the amazing news that Stephen Fry had tweeted about the Project, we were chuffed to see David Walliams retweeting Mark Morriss! It is always wonderful to have support from these household celebrities and we are truly grateful to them for taking the time to creatively support positive mental health 🙂
The ‘Rethink your mind Team’ were all very excited to see Stephen Fry’s tweet about the project on 22nd January! It brought over 100 new Twitter fans to our page and hundreds of website hits. If you haven’t ‘favorited’ or ‘retweeted’ it yet, please do and get involved in creatively supporting positive mental health!
Wonderful news, The lead singer of the band ‘The Bluetones’ Mark Morriss has joined award winning folk artist Lucy Ward, ‘refuge’ and Olivia Rose Dean to become one of the 4 music singles for the ‘rethinkyourmind’ project this year!
Since The Bluetones went their separate ways Mark has enjoyed a solo career releasing 2 solo albums and touring extensively.

3 top 10 albums in the UK, Including #1 album ‘Expecting to Fly’
13 Top 40 singles and a Brit nomination in 1996.
A judge on the Album Of The Year panel for the Ivor Novello Awards.
Recorded the Title and Chapter music for the 6 audio book versions of David Walliams’ children’s stories.
This means that selected poems will become Mark’s lyrics or be recorded as a spoken word piece for the b-side of the single and selected art/photography will become the front cover artwork for Mark’s ‘rethinkyourmind’ single.
Remember that selected entrants will be presented with an iPad Air at the prize presentation at the House of Lords 2015 hosted by Professor Lord Patel of Bradford OBE and have the opportunity to meet Mark Morriss in person.
