Life’s Reflection photographic competition and exhibition is an initiative of the ACT Office for Ageing within the ACT Government, which aims to celebrate the diversity of older people, promote positive images of ageing and provide opportunities for social inclusion and community participation by older Canberrans.
The competition is open to all ACT residents, and entries must depict at least one person aged over 60. Entry forms include a Professional Artist Release Form. An exhibition of selected photographs is held during Seniors Week. The theme for 2006 was “Let the Good Times Roll”.
