COA Amateur Photo Contest

The Council for Older Adults (COA)* in Niagara County invites all Niagara County residents over age 55 to enter the COA Amateur Photography contest.  Prizes will be awarded for the top three photos.

The theme for this year’s contest is: Living – Still.  World renowned photographer, Dorothea Lange said, “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.” The COA invites all amateur photographers to use Living – Still as their inspiration.

“The theme can encompass anything–inanimate objects or living things,” says COA Coordinator, Monica Barner.  “But most importantly, the theme means that older adults are still living, still creating, still learning and still sharing their gifts.”
