#loveourlakes Facebook Photography Competition

17 January 2020

Share what you love about Rotorua’s beautiful lakes this summer and be in to win prizes including a $400 Torpedo7 voucher with the #loveourlakes Facebook photography competition.

Entries are open from 17 January  2019 to 16 February 2020.

 

The photo competition is being run by the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Programme as a way to celebrate what people love about summer at the lakes. And it’s easy to enter – just share a photo that shows what you love most about our lakes on the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Facebook page with the tag #loveourlakes and be in the draw to win. All images should contain people in or around the Rotorua lakes.

This year we have three winning categories: overall winner, youth winner (under 16) and people’s choice.

The people’s choice section of the competition will see six photos chosen and the one with the most likes on the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Programme Facebook page will win. Voting will run from 16 February to 1 March 2020.

The overall winner will receive a $400 Torpedo7 voucher while the people’s choice winner will receive $250 Topedo7 voucher.

The youth winner will receive a family pass for Rotorua Duck Tours.
