Young Photographers Competition Postcard

In our Young Photographers Competition, tamariki and rangatahi aged 8-18 from across the Wellington region were asked to take a photo that represents the theme ‘Ako Kori Hanga, Learn Play Create’. 
They could interpret the theme in any way they chose, choosing to focus on one, two or all three aspects of the theme. 
From hundreds of amazing entries, our judging panel had a difficult job choosing just one winner from each age category.

Age 14-18 winner
Callum (age 16) with his photo ‘Tears of the Weaver’

Age 11-13 winner
Ari (age 12) with his photo ‘Underwater Imagination’

Age 8-10 winner
Kaesha (age 9) with her photo ‘The Fairy’s Afternoon‘

Each winner met with the Wheako Pōneke Experience Wellington Retail and Design team to transform their winning photo into a retail product to be sold in the Wellington Museum shop and Shop Wellington Online Store, learning how a creative passion can make a viable career. All three winners chose to turn their photos into postcards, which you can now purchase to support three young artists on their creative journey!
