The Council on Aging – Southern California invites all amateur and professional photographers from all over the world, 18 years of age or older, to use their imagination and share their vision and unique interpretation of the aging experience. Open to all photographic imagery that can be defined as “How do you perceive aging today?” as interpreted by the entrant. Is it the thriving lifestyle of seniors taking on new careers, volunteering, or being physically active? Or is it the traditional notion of the harsher realities of aging? One subject in the composition must be a senior, which is broadly defined as an individual 65 and over.
