Congratulations to the winners of our MS Virtual Art Show for 2025, officially announced on Friday 30 May for World MS Day. This year's show was one of our largest ever! We received an incredible 200 beautiful submissions from so many talented artists. Thank you to everyone who shared their time, talent, and heart by submitting their work. Each piece we received told its own powerful story – rich with emotion, creativity, and depth. Your art reminded us of the many ways expression can inspire, connect, and move us.
