Photo Competition - win cash!
The Cambridge Autumn Festival Photo Competition 2023 is now open, proudly supported by our fabulous sponsor PAUA.
This year, the story theme is “A hard day’s work”.
Entry is free. Entries close 3 March 2023.
There are two categories:
Open (open age)
Youth (under 19 years)
Great prizes to be won:
Three prizes for Open Category: First prize $250, Second prize $100, Third prize $50
One prize for Youth Category: $150
One prize for People’s Choice award: $50
The theme “A hard day’s work” – Waipa is a wonderful place to do business, and we have such a range of workplaces here – cafes and shops, farms, industry, offices, students at work, people working from home, and much more. There are so many different directions someone creative could take this theme. And the beautiful thing about these photographs is that together they create a historical record, a snapshot in time of Waipa and our people.
The top photographs will be displayed in the Cambridge Town Hall during the first weekend of the Festival – with an opportunity for viewers to vote for a new “People’s Choice” award.

Whip up a larger-than-life nutcracker and have it standing guard to greet guests this Christmas. This is an ideal opportunity to repurpose last year’s baubles, leftover Resene paint testpots and leftover materials from previous projects. You could use an old cardboard box for the body and cover it in fabric scraps. Find out how to make your own nutcracker with these easy step by step instructions.
Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?
Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.
The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
If you witness vandalism in progress, please contact the police immediately.
We want to know: Do you have ideas on how we can better protect our public spaces?
