Keep those summer photos coming!

The Courier’s annual Summer Photo Competition gives you the chance to show off your photography skills by submitting an image that captures the essence of summer.

● Entries close at 5pm tomorrow.

● Photos must be taken from December 1 to tomorrow.

● This year we are again running two categories — one for photographs taken by children U15, and the other for those 16 and over.

● Entries must be emailed to claire.allison@timarucourier.co.nz with "photo competition" for the adult competition and "junior photo competition" for the children’s entries in the subject line.

● All photos must be accompanied by a caption explaining who took the photograph, where it was taken, who is in the photograph, and the ages of children aged 16 and under.

● Photos must be at least 1MB in size — do not reduce the size when you send it.

● The winner of the adult competition will receive a $100 Speight’s Ale House voucher, and the junior section winner will receive two VIP passes to MovieMax Digital.

● The winners will be announced in The Courier on January 29. Here’s a few of the entries we’ve received so far.
