20th anniversary photo competition

Celebrating our volunteers

As part of our 20th anniversary celebrations for 2018 we are running a photo competition. Entries for this have now closed and the judges are conferring. Thank you to everyone who entered. Some wonderful images!

We want to showcase Mana Island’s beauty and the contribution that volunteers have made to the island’s restoration over the last two decades.

Photo categories

We have four categories:

Flora (plants)
Fauna (wildlife including birds, wetas, lizards)
Landscape/seascape
People on Mana Island

There is also a prize in each category for a young photographer who is under 16 years old of age, as at 30 June 2018).

A few rules

All photos must have been taken on Mana Island – it doesn’t matter when, although sometime in the last 20 years would be good!
The photos must be your own work.
You can enter up to four photographs in any one category, up to a maximum of eight images per photographer.
