A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words. And Possibly a Valuable Prize!
APTA invites members to participate in the 2013 photography contest. Each photo submitted should reflect physical therapy practice, education, or research. Winning entries should:
- Reflect the full scope and depict the strides that contemporary physical therapy practice, education, or research has helped to achieve
- Depict models of excellence in a variety of settings
- Portray a diverse population of physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, patients, researchers, faculty, or students
- Reflect high quality in terms of aesthetics, composition, and technical standards
Winners will be selected by a distinguished panel of judges. Winning entries will be displayed at APTA headquarters, may appear in APTA's online or print publications, and on the APTA.org or MoveForwardPT.com websites.
The first-place winner will receive $500. The second and third place winners will receive $250 each. No cash prizes will be awarded for honorable mentions. Winners will be announced in a future issue of PT in Motion.
