Description :
The aim of the “The BASIIC Global Photo Contest” – An eye for inclusion is to engage a global community of citizens who have an eye for identifying inclusive solutions, are cognizant of the needs of the PwDs, and actively seek means that augment their quality of life. In an effort to do so, the contest seeks to influence policy makers, practitioners, solution providers, and citizens through the common language of photography, irrespective of age or level of photographic experience. We have chosen “Inclusion” as the central theme for “The BASIIC Global Photo Contest” – An eye for Inclusion. The theme represents three key areas in which urban life should adapt to the needs of the persons with disability – - Universal access (in built environment), - Innovations and technologies, - Unique interventions (i.e., Government Policies or Cultural practices or through change makers in the society Participants are encouraged to capture and share their personal photographic expression of the thematic areas in the urban surrounding and attempt to voice the perspective of the vulnerable.
