Photography used to be regarded as a hobby, with cameras taken out of their cases to capture special occasions. In recent years taking a photo (or numerous photos) has become part of everyday life. With the invention of the smartphone, photos of friends and family are taken at a frightening rate. With the Selfie came the immense explosion of photo-sharing on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Whatsapp (to name but a few).

Photos should reflect ”the feeling of achievement”. Photos must be include the hashtag #epilepsyday in some way (e.g. written or printed on a card or you might think of a far more artistic way to include the hashtag). There is no limit on the number of entries a contestant may submit.
