How to enter

  • Make sure your artwork is less than 5MB.
  • Email your image, name, and suburb to twpp@whauthepeople.com by 11pm on Sunday 10th September 2023.

Pro tips

  • Fit your design on a portrait A4 piece of paper. That’s a 320mm(w) x 450mm(h) space.
  • Simple designs work best! If you’d like a real challenge, use only one or two colours.
  • Blocks of colour print better than gradients.
  • Don’t worry about the Te Whau Pathway logo – we’ll add it later!
