Photo Competition To Inspire Disabled People

A national photo competition is being launched to raise awareness of how disabled people can achieve their goals by sharing inspiring stories of personal achievement.




National law firm Irwin Mitchell and charity Meningitis Now have joined forces to launch No Limits, an online photography competition which aims to bring together a wide range of people to engage in representing their vision of No Limits in an educational, creative and community spirited way.

Entries are being invited which show how disabled people can overcome the challenges in their lives to achieve their full potential and promote independent living. Each image will be judged on its individual merit rather than the standard of photography technique as the competition is open to people of all abilities.

There are three categories, with two age groups in each for over and under 18s:

·         Ambition - images should capture the moment of someone who is working hard to achieve their ambitions and realise their full potential no matter how large or small the task.

·         Independence - these photos should showcase something which promotes independent living and inclusion within the local community and the positive impact this has on the disabled person and their family.

·         People - this category is looking for photos which show the qualities, personalities and characteristics that make people distinctive and unique, not only their impairment or condition.

iPads will be awarded to the winners from each category while the overall winner will also receive £200 of Amazon vouchers and a 12-month subscription to Photography Monthly.


The No Limits competition closes for entries at midnight on 20th November 2014 with winners announced on the Irwin Mitchell website in December 2014. To view the full terms and conditions, visit www.irwinmitchell.com/nolimits
