In a world where we are finally becoming socially responsible, age discrimination is still alive and well.
Who's to say that a 60 year old artist has less to contribute than a 20 year old? Ever hear of Ansel Adams? He was discovered very late in life, and we would have been deprived of his treasure if he were not recognized.
Age restrictions are a devastating form of discrimination that conveniently slip under the radar. We should not stand for it.

I am totally against age discrimination or any. (Sometimes entries are for women only!!) Why putting an age limit?? I don't get it.Please explain why.
Anyway, let 's continue to show the beauty of this world, no matter what.

It is nice to see an appropriately awarded contest, that is the final prize allows for full funding of a show that is done right.
I do have a concern. I haven seen very many contests for those who are still working to have similar notoriety and started a career after the age of 40. Those who have done so are left in the cold with no opportunities like this. There other contests yet the grand prize is much smaller, what does that say about the value of older artists?

After years of saving and working on my portfolio around paid employment, I finally managed to study for an MA in photography, graduating last year. I am now 37 and count myself as an emerging artist, yet find myself ineligible for many of the competitions I assume are aimed at recent graduates and those whose artistic career is still evolving. Recent graduates of any age are in need of the support and advocacy that winning a competition such as this can bring.

I too was very inspired to read about this contest and then my spirits fell when I saw the age limit. Even though I just got interested in photography last year, at 51 I am apparently over the hill. Why is it called "future generation art prize" I am more of a future generation than those just out of their teens :)
Anyhoo! For those of you over the age limit on this contest and also those of you under it, you can all take part in Project 12. It is a global photography and art project making a record of the year 2012 and inspiring Peace and Environmental awareness. You can see it at: 2012project12.com Oh, and I forgot to mention, you can win a trip for 2 to Iceland for a week with your own personal guide. Imagine all the amazing panoramic photos you could take in Iceland.

I have to agree with all previous comments, in regard to age discrimination
Peace, Stephen
