A true grass roots up initiative, Life in Pictures is a unique approach to opening discussions around positive ageing in the community through a filmmaking competition accompanied by a series of workshops and events. For it, we invite all members of the community to make a three minute short film that explores positive ageing in the community or the topic of ageism.

The screening and awards event takes place on the closing night of the Revelation Perth International Film Festival, this year taking place on July 19th followed by its famous closing night party.

The event is made up of 4 prize categories. The winner in each categry will receive $1,000 cash and other prizes.

- 17 years old or under;
- 18-59 years old; and
- 60 years old and over.
- Ambassador's Choice

Entries are restricted to Western Australian residents or registered organisations only.

There is no cost to enter. All costs associated with the production of each entry is the applicant’s responsibility and cannot be claimed.
