About Capture the moment 2024

Capture the moment is our photography competition for New Zealanders who have an intellectual disability or an intellectual disability and autism.

Building on the success of the IHC Art Awards, we wanted to showcase the talent of New Zealanders through a different medium.

The theme of this year’s competition is “Nature: the living world” (Natureall the animals, plants and other things in the world that exist or happen independently of people, water, sea mountains).
