LifeShots

The 2022 LifeShots Photo Contest submission process is now open! This will be the tenth year the AACPDM will have a gallery at the Annual Meeting to showcase photos submitted by you. The 2022 LifeShots Photo Contest is supported by the Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center at Columbia University.

The Academy has created a photo contest to feature a one-of-a-kind gallery that will inspire all viewers to overcome their many challenges.

The deadline to submit your entry is Thursday, September 1, 2022. We look forward to your creative submissions!

What We're Looking For...

Photos of individuals affected by cerebral palsy and other childhood-onset disabilities in the midst of doing what they enjoy or completing a basic task or celebrating a major accomplishment. The photos can contain family members and care providers but we must have a photo release for each person in the photo.

Then, include a title that is unique to the ability being highlighted in the photo. The title/phrase will be mounted next to the photo.

The Academy will select the top photos for display at the AACPDM 76th Annual Meeting. The top three winners will be announced upon the conclusion of the meeting.

Grand Prize

The 1st place winner will receive a professionally mounted enlargement of their submitted photo, free basic conference registration to the 77th Annual Meeting, September 10-13, 2023 in Chicago, IL and a $500 Amazon gift card!

All photographers will be recognized on the photos displayed.
