Age Positive Imagery Photography Competition

Age UK Norfolk were delighted to recently assist North Norfolk District Council and the North Norfolk Health and Wellbeing Partnership to secure a small pot of funding from The Centre for Ageing Better, to host a photography competition centered around age positivity.

The Age Positive Imagery Photography Competition is a public photography competition where anyone can submit an age-positive image, such as activities, pastimes, hobbies, or community events.

This photography competition is all about showcasing older residents enjoying an active life or making a valuable contribution to their communities.

Promoting Ageism Action Day

The competition also aims to celebrate the value of older residents in the district ahead of Ageism Action Day, which has a theme of see and be seen this year. It will also encourage residents to look around and see the positive contributions made by, and value of, our older residents (North Norfolk has the highest proportion of older residents in the UK, with 33.8% of residents over 65 years old).

About the competition

The competition is open to everyone from Friday, 1 March 2024 and closes on Monday, 18 March 2024. There is a prize for the top three entries:

• 1^st place £75
• 2^nd place £50
• 3^rd place £25

Entries will be judged by the North Norfolk Health and Wellbeing Partnership’s older people group and the winners will be announced on Wednesday 20 March. The entries will be displayed at Sheringham Library for a week from Wednesday, 20 March, in conjunction with Ageism Action Day.
