Raukūmara Week
Photography Competition
Mai ngā maunga ki te moana
(from the mountains to the sea)
This competition is about noticing.
Not just the big scenic shots, but the in between moments. The way light hits the hills,
the way an awa moves after rain, the way salt sits in the air near the coast, the small details that are all part of connecting us as one living system.
Through your lens, show us that connection.
Show us what maunga ki te moana (mountains to the sea) looks like to you.
