E Tū Whānau Poster Competition 2018 - Info & Rules

No matter how big or small, we can all make a difference and be responsible for creating positive change within our whānau, hapū, iwi and community. E Tū Whānau is a movement for positive change in response to unacceptable levels of violence in NZ. It's about us taking responsibility to create the change we want, including changing bad attitudes and behaviour, and nurturing and celebrating the things that make whānau strong.

Art and design are powerful tools to communicate ideas, convey emotion, and inspire action. The values which underpin E Tū Whānau provide endless possibilities for innovative design, so this year for the first time we are running a poster design competition. Entrants can choose from one of the following E Tū Whānau values - Aroha, Mana/Manaaki, and Whakapapa - as the theme for their poster. Each entry must incorporate both the value WORD and the associated value COLOUR.

There are great cash prizes and gift vouchers to be won. Winning entries selected by our judges will effectively communicate the power and meaning of E Tū Whānau's values, and will be used to create new posters for each of the values. A cash prize will also be awarded for the entry that receives the most public votes overall. Entry opens on 1/10/2018 and closes on 31/10/2018. Voting opens on 1/11/2018 and closes on 11/11/2018. See below for full competition details, and go to www.etuwhanau.org.nz for more info regarding E Tū Whānau.
