Collective power: The next 100 years

The Next 100 Years, the successor project to the First 100 Years, has launched a photo competition to mark the centenary of the first four women to be admitted to the Law Society as solicitors―Carrie Morrison, Maud Crofts, Mary Pickup and Mary Sykes

The photos should feature groups of four or more legal professionals at work or leisure, celebrating the power of togetherness and what can be achieved when we work collectively. Entries are welcomed from across the world.

The winning images―to be judged by Baroness Hale, the Lord Chief Justice and others―will form the basis of a 2023 calendar and an exhibition entitled ‘The way we are: portraits of the legal profession today’.

Dana Denis-Smith, founder of the Next 100 Years, said: ‘We have come a long way since those early trailblazers.’
