MUSIC for BED for Severe M.E.!

An illustration for BED for Severe M.E. - a white young man laying in a bed wearing an eye mask.

There are a heck of a lot of talented, creative people within the M.E. community. Too many have had to step away from their creative roles due to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Some have limited energy available to be creative but don’t have an appropriate outlet.

To showcase this talent, whilst also raising awareness of this awful debilitating disease, ME Foggy Dog is launching two contests!

The ‘BED for Severe M.E’ song contest is here!

The Serious Bit

Deadline for entries is 00:00 on 1st May 2025
Terms and conditions

The winning song will be released for ‘BED for Severe M.E.’ in 2025 and proceeds will go to M.E. organisations: Smile for M.E and Cure M.E have been chosen by ME Foggy Dog to be the beneficiaries of ‘BED for Severe M.E.’ 2025.

The aim is to get the song as high up in the download chart to raise as much money as possible for these two M.E.organisations

I can’t wait to see and hear the entries!

The pwME-centred contest needs AWESOME artwork so….

‘BED for Severe M.E’ Song Contest Logo competition!

You can see my best efforts on this document, these are just temporary for the launch (courtesy of Canva templates).

I want the M.E. community to be as involved and engaged as possible with ‘BED for Severe M.E.’ and so am opening this up for the creatives in our community!

People living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, I’d love you to create our official song contest logo! Let your creative juices flow!

The logo has to be original, and be representative of music AND severe M.E. How YOU do that is entirely up to you! Severe M.E. doesn’t have a ‘brand’ colour (not blue like M.E. awareness) so you can be free with your creative colour palette.

I’m allowing an M.E. appropriate length of time to take part (allowing for fluctuations) UPDATE – The deadline is the 1st May 2025. Winner will be announced 8th May 2025.

More serious stuff for you to read

Deadline for entries is 1st May 2025

Terms and conditions

I don’t ask others to do what I won’t do myself.

Unfortunately, M.E. Foggy Dog is a  micro-entity social enterprise and can’t pay anyone for their creativity and awesomeness (I have never made any money personally from my M.E. work either). The only thing you will get in return is a warm and fuzzy feeling from knowing you have helped out a great cause! (though obviously you can add the logo win to your portfolio if appropriate and I will publish the names of the winners of both competitions and share widely) Everyone who has taken part in ‘BED for Severe M.E.’ 2024 has done so on a voluntary basis and this will most likely continue in future years.

Let’s go! 

BED for Severe M.E. Day – 29th October 2025 here we come!
