A unique photography competition will showcase the Sunshine Coast’s most accessible and inclusive places.

Sunshine Coast Council Strong Community Portfolio Councillor Taylor Bunnag said the Accessible Sunshine Coast Photo Competition was an opportunity for those with a lived experience of disability and their families to share their favourite accessible or inclusive destinations in the region.

Cr Bunnag said residents were invited to capture everyday moments, with a short description of the location and the story behind it.

She said the competition celebrated the places and spaces that fostered access, inclusion and participation.

“We encourage everyone to showcase their favourite accessible places and spaces that contribute to greater participation by people with disability in community, sporting and cultural activities.”

Cr Bunnag said entries would be accepted between October 29 and November 22, with the winner, who would receive a family pass to Australia Zoo, announced on December 3, International Day of People with Disability.
