In 2024, the African Palliative Care Association launched a photography competition, funded by True Colours. The competition sought to visually showcase what excellent palliative care looks like across Africa.
Entrants to the competition were encouraged to visually document impactful moments in care delivery across homes, institutions and community settings. The grant included a contribution for organisations to purchase cameras if needed.
The competition will run for three years, with the first winners announced in 2024 and the second in 2025. The final year of the competition will take place in 2026.
We have been absolutely thrilled by the photographs which have been submitted to date. Photographs are available for use by palliative care organisations to undertake advocacy, education, awareness creation or fundraising.
The winners from 2024 can be seen here.
The winners from 2025 can be seen here.
