Tapawera Through the Lens
Tapawera Connect is excited to launch the “Tapawera Through the Lens” Photography Exhibition & Competition. This is a celebration of the people, places, and landscapes that make our community special.
Entries must be in by Friday, 12th June.
Whether you’re a seasoned photographer, a hobbyist, or someone who simply loves capturing moments on your phone, we’d love to see Tapawera through your eyes.
Participants may enter up to three photographs across the following categories:
Our People
Portraits and candid moments that capture the spirit of our community.
Our Places
Buildings, structures, signposts, and the man-made spaces that shape our town and valleys.
Our Whenua (Land)
The landscapes, rivers, mountains, farms, bush, and natural beauty of our environment.
There will also be a separate prize category for children 12 and under.
How to Enter
Entries must be submitted by Friday, 12th June.
Please email your digital image files to:
phoebe@tapaweraconnect.org
All entries will be professionally printed by Tapawera Connect on A3 display card and exhibited throughout July at Pizza Plus in Tapawera — helping bring local creativity into the heart of the community while supporting Julie and Jacob’s new eatery.
There is no cost to enter, and there are some fantastic prizes up for grabs.
To ensure fairness, all images will be displayed anonymously, with independent judges selecting the winners.
This exhibition is a chance to celebrate emerging talent, share the stories and beauty of our region, and see Tapawera from fresh perspectives. We can’t wait to see what you capture!
