LifeShots

Congratulations to our 2023 Winners!

Submissions for 2023 are now closed.

The AACPDM has launched the 2023 LifeShots photo contest to showcase an exceptional gallery that motivates viewers to conquer their obstacles. This will be the eleventh year that the Academy will display photographs submitted by participants at the Annual Meeting. The Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center at Columbia University sponsors the 2023 LifeShots Photo Contest.

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 77th Annual Meeting. The top three submissions will be recognized upon the conclusion of the meeting.

Grand Prize

The 1st place winner will receive a professionally mounted enlargement of their submitted photo and a $500 Amazon gift card!

All photographers will be recognized on the photos displayed.
