Announcing the winners of the 2016 Kowhai Photography Competition!
This year’s annual kowhai photo competition was open to digital entries and – in a first for us – winners were voted for by the public on www.neighbourly.co.nz...
The kowhai competition is held annually and has been running for many years now. It’s organised by the local Community Group and is intended to draw people’s attention to the tree from which our village gets its name.
The community group selected the finalists for each of the four categories and winners were voted for by the public over one week in early November.
A prize of $50 is awarded for the winner of each category. But obviously it’s not about the money it’s about being world famous in Te Kowhai and being able to boast having the BEST photograph for the year.
The winners are:
1. Age 12 and under: TJ Ellis
2. Age 13 to 17 years: Sheree Williamson
3. Age 18 years and above: Steven Hood
4. People’s Choice: TJ Ellis
Congratulations to all the winners and many thanks to those who entered. A record number of entries this year and some excellent submissions which we hope to be able to show off in the newsletter over the coming months.

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?
The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.
This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.
Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
