Are you an aspiring artist aged 12‒18 years?
We have a competition challenge for you! Design, draw or paint an artwork for Te Kete Wānanga o Papanui / Papanui Library.
7 winners will be selected from how well their work reflects or is inspired by Te Kete Wānanga o Papanui's whenua:
The translated term for ‘Papanui’ links in with the history of the area and the traditional use and āhua (nature) of the whenua. With the whenua (land) once being a location that hosted an abundance of resources that were vital to Māori. It was an important mahinga kai (food gathering location) for the local tangata whenua. Surrounded by tall native trees like tōtara and mataī, this location was home to various native wildlife such as kererū and tūī.
The winning artwork will be digitised onto vinyl and displayed on the library’s windows.
All artworks will be digitised and displayed on the library digital screen.
Spot prizes will be up for grabs.
