The City Library recently hosted the annual "Through the Lens" photography competition, a special event designed exclusively for senior citizens holding Seniors Cards. This yearly competition provides an opportunity for older community members to showcase their photographic talents and creative perspectives.
The competition, which has become a highly anticipated annual tradition, attracts senior photographers from across the local community. Participants submit their best work across various categories, demonstrating that artistic expression and creativity continue to flourish regardless of age. The event emphasizes the importance of providing platforms for seniors to engage in meaningful cultural activities.
The City Library served as both the venue for the competition and the gallery space where winning entries and notable submissions were displayed for public viewing. This choice of location reinforces the library's role as a community cultural hub, extending beyond traditional book lending to support diverse forms of artistic expression and community engagement.
Jade Woollacott was among the participants or organizers involved in this year's competition, contributing to the event's success. The competition results were made available in both list and gallery formats, allowing visitors to appreciate the diverse range of photographic styles and subjects captured by the senior participants.
