KICK AGEISM TO THE CURB

A Photographic Competition to celebrate

Older Persons Week

Step right up to the ultimate age-defying photo showdown!

The Incubator Creative Hub and Tauranga City Council present a photography competition that breaks down the walls of ageism, tears down stereotypes and shines a spotlight on our senior stars in a fabulously stylish way.

With six categories to spark your creativity, snap those vibrant and lively older people (65+) doing their thing with flair and vitality.

Your photographs will join a gallery of uplifting images for the Tauranga City Council to showcase the beauty of aging with dignity and visibility and become empowering examples of growing older with mana.

Whether you're clicking away on your phone or going pro with studio setups, we want your colourful shots to rock our world, within our guidelines, so mind the fine print!

The cherry on top? Twenty selected images will bask in the limelight at an outdoor exhibition on the Strand Tauranga from the 30th September a fabulous 4 week run.
