Met Society Photo Competition 2019
On 6 October 1769, Captain Cook on the Endeavour sighted Young Nicks head and landed at Poverty Bay two days later. This year is the 250th anniversary of that event, but there were many explorers who landed on our shores before then. We invite you to enter our photo competition of the places our many early explorers visited or named prior to the end of 1770.
Looking forward to seeing the great photos people enter.
PRIZES
The winning image will be displayed on the cover of our annual Journal “Weather and Climate”
Prize for the winning photo is a copy of “ISLANDS: A New Zealand Journey” by Bruce Ansley (Photos by Jane Ussher) + an invitation to tour the MetService Operations in Kelburn, Wellington.
Second and Third prizes are the same: A copy of “The Cloud Collector’s Handbook” by Gavin Pretor-Pinney
+ an invitation to tour the MetService Operations in Kelburn, Wellington.
CONTEST RULES
1. We are seeking a photo of a place visited or named by our early explorers before end of 1770. Interesting weather will excite us too. Please ensure there are no identifiable people.
2. Entry is open to any individual resident in New Zealand or any member of the NZ Met Society from any country.
3. You can submit just ONE photo (per person).
4. In the caption, tell us when and where it was taken, and which explorer visited or named the place. Cropping and zooming of photos is allowed, however, no modifications or enhancements.

VOTING
