Snap!

Snap! is Mencap's annual photo and story competition. It offers a unique insight into what it is like to have a learning disability through the eyes of those closest to it.

Snap 2009 is now open for entries!

The 2009 competition is now open for entries - and this year, for the first time, you can also enter short films to Snap!  

We are looking for:

• photos or films taken or filmed by someone with a learning disability

Each entry should also have a story with it about why you took the photo or made the film. We want your entries to show us what makes you happy, sad, angry, excited and proud.

Everyone has a story to tell and we want to hear yours!
