Through the Lens, the Seniors Card photographic competition and exhibition is on again in 2023!
Through the Lens promotes ageing well by celebrating the skills of older South Australians through the art of photography and demonstrates that people can learn and create at any age.
Seniors Card members love to share their stories, and other members love to hear them. Photos speak a thousand words. Through the Lens is a wonderful opportunity for Seniors Card members to share photos that they have taken, that reflect their lives and interests.
All South Australian Seniors Card members are invited to enter Through the Lens, the Seniors Card photographic competition.
Entries close Friday 18 August 2023.
The judges are looking for good photographic technique, creativity, and clear photographs.
Seniors Card members are invited to submit up to four photos across five categories:
- Active ageing
- Artistic photography
- Landscape & nature
- Meaningful connections
- Portrait
A winner and finalist in each of these categories will win great prizes.
Through the judging process, the judges will choose one entry to win the Judge’s Choice Award. In addition to looking for good photographic technique, creativity and clear photographs, judges will award the Judge’s Choice Award to a photograph that is unique, displays creativity, has impact, and draws them in to discover the story or message without distraction.
