As stated by Seniors and Ageing Minister Don Punch:
"The Golden Lens Photography Competition is an annual highlight in the WA Seniors Card calendar.
"The competition is just one of the ways the Cook Government is supporting older Western Australians to stay active and participate in their community.
"I strongly encourage people of all ages to get involved by voting for their favourite photo on the WA Seniors Card Facebook page.
"There are some incredible entries to choose from, which not only showcases the skills of Western Australian seniors, but also helps to promote positive ageing in our community."
