Kia ora e te whānau,
Our Kairangahau Dr James Berghan and Dr Marama Salsano are running a nationwide poetry competition inviting Māori aged 16 years and over to submit their best poem about their relationships with the built environment. It’s free to enter, and entries can be submitted in English or in Te Reo Māori. First prize in each language category will win a $500 book voucher and will be published in an upcoming book about Māori relationships with the built environment!
Please feel free to enter and/or to circulate this on to any budding Māori poets you know!
