British Society of Gerontology & Photocrowd are delighted that the BBC is featuring the winners of its recent photo competition, ‘Ageing: the bigger picture’. The competition attracted over 1200 photos and 200,000 votes were cast. The stunning images explore the complexities of ageing around the world. Professor Sheila Peace, president of BSG, said: “This has been an exciting venture, bringing to our attention the beauty, experience and intergenerational dimensions of global ageing. Our congratulations to the winners, whom we hope have inspired us all to go on capturing those images that show the value and diversity of our world as we grow older. To have over 1200 photos to consider and to generate more than 200,000 votes is tremendous. Let’s keep being inclusive in embracing these images of ageing.”
