Christchurch Photo Hunt 2021: People and Place – our stories revealed.

October is our Christchurch Photo Hunt month, running Friday 1 October to Sunday 31 October. Winning entries will be announced on Monday 6 December.

This is our 13th annual Photo Hunt and we have had over 2500 photos submitted. Previous Photo Hunt entries can be seen on the Discovery Wall in Tūranga or on the website discoverywall.nz  and at canterburystories.nz

This year’s theme is People and Place – our stories revealed.

Here in Ōtautahi-Christchurch and Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū-Banks Peninsula we have many stories, from Ngāi Tahu and other iwi, European settlers, Pasifika and people of many ethnic and cultural backgrounds who have made this place home. Share your photos and help us tell the diverse stories of Christchurch and its people.
