Challenging ageism, celebrating life and defying lifelong expectations are among the aims of an art challenge currently welcoming entries.
Australian Multicultural Community Services [AMCS] is hosting an art challenge to combat the negative stereotypes of ageing.
Entrants from across the western suburbs can submit a photograph, painting, graphic or video, with the first prize winner winning $1000 and the second prize winner receiving $500.
Participant Nuwanthi Danushka Hewathudella said the challenge is opening her eyes to the value of ageing.
“Getting older is not a wrong thing or a bad thing,” she said.
“It is the natural flow of nature.
“Ageing is a gift that nature gives to all of us to relax.”
Entries close on Sunday, June 19.
