Rangitikei Council wants residents to share pics of region

The Rangitikei river. Residents are being encouraged to share beautiful pictures of and around the region online.

Keen photographers in the Rangitikei region are being encouraged to chance their arm at a photo competition local authorities are running.

The TRYB [the Rangitikei Youth Body] photo competition runs until the end of January.

There are three age group categories: young people aged 12-15, 16-24 and a final group of people aged 25 and older.

People can enter by emailing their photos (including their age bracket) to tryb@rangitikei.govt.nz. Contenders may also upload their photos to Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag #trybphotocomp.

After January 30, three supreme winners of each age bracket will be chosen. They will receive a print of their photo on canvas as well as a TRYB hoodie. The top five entries of each group will be printed and displayed throughout the region.
