Civic Trust Auckland invites students of school age to photograph heritage items or activities related to this year’s Auckland Heritage Festival theme: “Journeys – the stories of how our people travelled to Tāmaki Makaurau by sea, by air or by land, to create a shared future together.”

The competition opens on 5 October and entries must be submitted by 30 October. There are three age groups, with one prize for each age group: up to 10 years old (prize: $50), older than 10 and younger than 15 (prize: $100) and 15 and over (prize: $150). Each person may submit up to three photos.

The prizes will be presented at the Civic Trust Auckland AGM on 24 November, and every entrant will be entitled to a free year’s family membership of Civic Trust Auckland. All photos will be displayed on the CTA Facebook page by 24 November.

Judges of the competition will be:

• Robin Byron, Heritage Advisor Architecture, Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Northern Regional Office
