Terms and Conditions

Tasman District Council invites young people (12-24 years old) to submit their photographs for a contest dedicated to the Matariki Celebration. The star cluster Matariki appears in our skies in the month of Pipiri (June–July), marking the start of the Māori New Year. This year we are celebrating our local stars, heroes and heroines tuahangata/tuawahine. For this contest, we welcome photos that show your own heroes and heroines, people who have had significant impact on your personal life or people who you admire and respect. We are also accepting photographs for a General Matariki category that is your creative interpretation of the Matariki Celebration, the Matariki star cluster and the Māori New Year.
