2023 Photo & Testimonial Contest

About AALC’s 2023 Photo & Testimonial Contest

Each year, we look forward to the launch of our Photo & Testimonial Contest. We receive hundreds of photos capturing the true essence of what Supportive Living (SL) is all about. This year's entries should demonstrate the important role SL plays in the lives of Illinois’ seniors and individuals with disabilities and, after the uncertainty and shutdowns caused by the pandemic, now is our time to thrive.

 We are looking for entries that showcase all the things Supportive Living communities do to ensure our seniors and individuals with disabilities have the support they need to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

So get your camera out and your pencil ready! It’s time to start capturing life in your community and then share the results with the rest of the SL family during the 2023 “Our Time to Thrive” Photo and Testimonial contest!
