Long Term Plan photography competition

The Christchurch City Council is asking photographers to capture a striking image of a city in transition for the cover of its Long Term Plan.

The Plan published in March will shape the city over the next 10 years and beyond, and Mayor Lianne Dalziel is keen to find a very special cover shot.

“We’re looking for an image that captures the mood of a city in transition, a place where the unexpected is the new normal, a place where anything is possible. This time we want your imagination to run wild.”

“Yes the earthquakes did enormous damage, but with the rebuild really underway there’s now a sense of new and exciting things ahead and we want the cover to reflect that.”

Anyone can enter up to five images in the photography competition which closes on 22 February. For further information on entries go to www.ccc.govt.nz/photocompetition

The winner will receive an acknowledgement on the inside cover of the Long Term Plan consultation document which may also feature other competition entries on inside pages.

The winning image and other highly commended photographs will also go on show in the Council’s Civic Offices in March.
