It encourages you to treat people in wheelchairs as objects, like a tree or any other scenery. It does nothing to make people aware of the fact that most people with disabilities do not use wheelchairs. It raises absolutely no awareness about the fact that a huge number of disabilities have no visible presentation at all. Many disabled people "pass", they look like non-disabled people. And able-bodied people often treat them like crap, because there is an assumption that you should look as disabled as you are, which is ridiculous. It encourages the views of people who do use wheelchairs as wheelchair-bound, as if the wheelchair is a part of them. A wheelchair is a tool used for mobility, just like a car is. People who use wheelchairs do not spend the entirety of their lives in the wheelchair. It isn't the wheelchair that is relevant, but the person. Basically, how does it raise any useful understanding about disabilities at all? And it does seem to encourage people to annoy people who use wheelchairs. Most people with visible disabilities already get enough ignorant people staring at them. More such people with cameras isn't helpful. Maybe the prize is a course in sensitivity training. And they consider if you did this, you need it. It doesn’t raise any understanding about what it means to be disabled.

But it's always been at least a little wrong to photograph a random person who's just trying to get on with their day, especially if you don't ask first. This is encouraging people to do just that. Add to that, wheelchair users only account for a small proportion of people with disabilities. A disability awareness exercise that only mentions one group, specifically the group that are already most visible, is failing completely at its stated purpose. Equating disability with wheelchair use is just reinforcing an inaccurate perception that the rest of the disabled population don't count or don't exist. That's the opposite of disability awareness.
