Photo Competition - win cash!

Alana from Cambridge

The Cambridge Autumn Festival Photo Competition 2023 is now open, proudly supported by our fabulous sponsor PAUA.

This year, the story theme is “A hard day’s work”.
Entry is free. Entries close 3 March 2023.


There are two categories:
Open (open age)
Youth (under 19 years)

Great prizes to be won:
Three prizes for Open Category: First prize $250, Second prize $100, Third prize $50
One prize for Youth Category: $150
One prize for People’s Choice award: $50

The theme “A hard day’s work” – Waipa is a wonderful place to do business, and we have such a range of workplaces here – cafes and shops, farms, industry, offices, students at work, people working from home, and much more. There are so many different directions someone creative could take this theme. And the beautiful thing about these photographs is that together they create a historical record, a snapshot in time of Waipa and our people.

The top photographs will be displayed in the Cambridge Town Hall during the first weekend of the Festival – with an opportunity for viewers to vote for a new “People’s Choice” award.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
