Current Photo Contests

What circumstances and opportunities do we hope for in old age? Do we have models from today’s perspective to go by? How do we imagine our lives from 65 on? How can the potential of the “old” in society be meaningfully utilized? Submitted photos should deal with civil or personal conceptions and ideas of aging. We are looking for new images of aging that demonstrate new lifestyles with these extra years, their conditions and consequences.
