Disabled Photography

Winners of the 2013 ‘On the Move’ national competition for disabled photographers, were announced at the NEC during The Photography Show.

This competition, now in its third year, is jointly organised by Mobility Choice, the charity responsible for delivering
The Mobility Roadshow, and the Disabled Photographers’ Society (DPS). Entries were received from enthusiastic photographers located all over the UK and with a variety of disabilities. With the theme focusing on ‘Travel and Leisure’ this year, the organisers received a high number of impressive and engaging images depicting days out, holidays, sports, transport and local and international destinations.


The overall winning images were showcased at The Photography Show and were taken by:
- Sue Geary from Bristol, over 18
- Ben Newnham from Southport, aged 12
- Archie West from Devon, aged 9

The impressive winners’ prize packages included Calumet photographic accessories and vouchers and a Merlin Annual Pass for a disabled person and carer. This pass now gives the three winners entry to a range of top UK attractions such as the London Eye, Legoland Windsor and Madame Tussauds for 12 months. Sue, Ben and Archie also won £150 in cash.
