Today is the start of the UK's Down's Syndrome Awareness Week.
I would encourage you to visit the DSA's website to see how you can participate!
One way you can participate is by entering the 'My Perspective' Photo Competition!
My Perspective
Calling all Budding Photographers!
The Down's Syndrome Association (DSA) is pleased to announce the launch of My Perspective - the first ever photography competition for people with Down's syndrome!
My Perspective is proud to be a part of the hugely successful Shifting Perspectives project supported by GlaxoSmithKline. For the past five years, we have been showcasing work from a fantastic collection of photographers who all have a personal link with Down's syndrome. Recently the DSA has been approached by a number of photographers with Down's syndrome which has given us the idea to start My Perspective. It's now YOUR turn to demonstrate your photography skills.We are looking for you to send us images of your friends, family, pets, places you've visited or anything else that interests you!
Winning entried will be annouced at an exclusive awards ceremony in June at a secret location in London. Prizes will be awarded to the winner and two runners up, with ten special highly commended prizes.
The winning entries will be displayed at the Proud Gallery, Camden later in the year and the winning image will become a permanent part of the Shifting Perspectived touring exhibition.
The submitted images, up to three per person, will be judged by a panel of professionals and all those shortlisted will be notified by 14th May 2010.
Images need to be sent to the following address by Friday 16th April 2010:
