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.
