What Does Recovery Mean To You? YoungScot Re-Capture Photography Contest

Re-capture is running a photography project giving young people the chance to capture what recovery from an eating disorder means to them, while empowering and inspiring other young people who might be suffering from an eating disorder.

Re-capture is running a photography project giving young people the chance to capture what recovery from an eating disorder means to them, while empowering and inspiring other young people who might be suffering from an eating disorder.

The project is being run to mark Eating Disorder Awareness Week, which takes place on the 20^th-26th February 2012.  We would like to invite young people aged 14 to 25 to submit a photograph representing recovery, along with a short explanation of why it illustrates recovery to you.

A selection of the photographs will be chosen to be displayed in an exhibition at the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday 21st February.  It is hoped that the exhibition will create a better understanding of eating disorders and the journey of recovery, while helping to tackle stereotypes and stigma attached to the illness. The photographs will then be turned into a travelling exhibition that will be available for display across Scotland.
