TDC 2025 Photography Competition
5 September 2024
This year the competition is named “Weathering wonderfully” – This is all about the sights of our district as a result of the weather at the time you take the photo, or it can be shortly after the weather has changed or it could be a shot of something that is the way it is because of long exposure to the weather. This theme can be interpreted in a variety of ways:
It could be a shot of crazy patterns on a frozen lake, or perhaps something that the weather has had an effect on, such as a gnarly windswept tree bent horizontally by decades of prevailing winds, or perhaps something material that has been left in the wild but is still with us and looking graceful as mother nature throws her best (and worst) at it in order to, one day, return it to the earth.
With the end of winter in sight , the next week or so may the last time to try and get some great winter shots before spring arrives. You can submit up to 4 great photos, one for each season would be awesome but any shots of the district in, or after any weather in any season will all be great entries!
Entry leagues are Adult, Primary/Intermediate and Secondary. Sub categories are:
- Best artistic effect
- Best mobile phone image
- Best black and white image
- May 2024 Southern Lights
There are cash prizes for each league and every entrant will have at least one of their images placed in a photo book on completion of the competition. The overall winners image will be on the cover.
The competition is open to all residents of the Tararua District. The closing date is 30 September 2025. Please pick up an entry form from any Council Service Centre, Library or isite or download it here: TDC 2025 Photography Competion Entry Form
