Photography buffs invited to capture positive elderly lifestyle

 “The Elderly – positive aging” is the theme of a photo competition being launched by Casa Antonia Nursing and Residential Home in Balzan, as part of its 10th anniversary celebration.

Photography enthusiasts are invited to capture elderly persons in a positive way. The entries must be original and are required to show a distinctive Maltese element. Winning submissions will be determined mainly on the basis of the author’s creativity, the entry’s composition and the quality of the digital image.

Opened in 2003, Casa Antonia has established itself as one of Malta’s top nursing and residential homes, offering long-term care, short-stay convalescence, and respite care. The residence is spread over a large area of tastefully decorated spaces in classic design and surrounded by lavish gardens, offering a comfortable accommodation for 130 residents, which can be enjoyed in single rooms, sharing, or apartments.

 

Participants in the Casa Antonia 10th Anniversary Photography Competition will have the opportunity of being awarded one of the 13 prizes assigned by the selection panel. The winner of the most original photograph will receive €1,000 and a trophy. The second and third placed will receive weekend breaks for two persons at Qawra Palace Hotel on half board basis, while the 4th to 13th placed will receive €50 each.

 

The first 13 placed entries will be considered for inclusion in Casa Antonia’s 2014 Annual Calendar. All entries will be judged by a panel of three judges who will select the top 20 entries, which will be displayed during an exhibition at Casa Antonia in autumn.  The presentation ceremony will be held during the opening of the exhibition.

 

The competition is open to all residenti of Malta and Gozo, who must be at least 18 years by the closing date of this competition. Each participant may submit a maximum of four (4) digital entries which may be in monochrome and /or colour. Staff members of Casa Antonia are not eligible to participate in this competition.
