Historical imagery doesn't have to be in black and white, it can be anything around or before the 2000s. Think your yearbook photos, you looking stoked in front of your first car or even your mum gardening in her retro fashion. Anything goes, they just have to be taken in Manukau.
When you submit your image/s before 23 September, let us know you're from Neighbourly and you could win a $100 petrol voucher!
If you have any questions or need help digitising an image email rebecca@retrace.co.nz.
