This month-long contest is the first major event announced by organizers of this year’s Auckland Festival of Photography (June 1-24.) Photographers of all ages and abilities are invited to capture the spirit of Auckland through the lens of a camera. The winning entry will be turned into a CBD billboard which will be displayed on Auckland’s Fanshawe Street for the duration of the June Festival. April entries are selected for a top ten Peoples Choice Exhibition to be held at SKYCITY 7 May to 20 May. Voting closes on 20 May.

The photos must have been taken in Auckland region and/or be from a body of work of an artist living in the Auckland region (copyrighted to the artist). You must have a 300dpi image available that can be enlarged to fill a large portrait aspect ratio billboard. Digital cameras should be 6 megapixels and film prints should be scanned and available at this large size - IF SELECTED FOR THE PEOPLES CHOICE SELECTION. All entries will be converted to 72 dpi for the website display. So you should submit smaller files for this but have larger files available if required. Visit the site for details.
