Welcome to the 2025 Christchurch Photo Hunt. Here is how you can contribute your digital images to the Photo Hunt:

1. Upload your photos to discoverywall.nz;
2. Submit your photos through our photo hunt entry form.

There is no longer a process for dropping your photos at libraries. If you have physical photos you want to scan, you can:

1. Come along to a Digitise Your Photos event at selected libraries during October;
2. Scan your photos at Auahatanga | Creativity at Tūranga or at Te Hāpua Halswell Centre. Learn more about how to access the photo scanners.

Please note that bound, framed or mounted photos are unable to be scanned at the Digitise Your Photos events. This is because the scanner feeds through photos rather than being flatbed as with some other scanners. If you would like to contribute any of these types of photos please contact us directly about Photo Hunt 2025.

Each image is entered into a category of People, Places or Both (depending on what the main subject of the image is).

Entries will be made available on the Discovery Wall and discoverywall.nz and will also form a crucial part of the permanent heritage collections housed on the libraries’ digital heritage platform Canterbury Stories.
