Whether you're a seasoned shutterbug, a curious kid with a camera, or someone who just happened to snap the perfect moment on a walk — this is your chance to shine.
This is Otago’s own photography competition — celebrating our stunning landscapes, wild places, unique wildlife, and the people who capture them. From the nearly-professional to the Insta-obsessed, and from enthusiastic schoolkids to everyday explorers, we want to see your best shots.
Enter your best nature-themed photos for the chance to win fantastic prizes and have your work featured in the Tūhura Otago Museum’s exclusive exhibition. New for 2025:
A pop-up 'Natural Abstract' category
A special section for photographers Under 19
The return of the popular People’s Choice Award
And don't forget primary-aged children can enter! One lucky young photographer will win a prize pack, including:
A Tūhura Science Centre Annual Pass and Child Passes for their entire class plus the honour of being the classroom MVP! Just make sure to include your child’s school upon entry to be in to win.
To help you up your game, Tūhura Otago Museum will also be running a series of talks and workshops throughout the competition period. These events will be announced soon — keep an eye on their website for more info and to enter: Tūhura Photography Competition
Entries are open now and close at 12pm, Monday 12 May 2025.
Plus, head to The Breeze Dunedin facebook page, and vote for Damian or Hannah's nature photo and you could win a $100 voucher to use at the Tūhura Museum Shop!
