Marlborough Anniversary is just a few weeks away, and after this crazy year I've decided to do a little something to encourage locals to celebrate our region.
As well as being a local business, Create IT also provides the technology behind perhaps the most prolific local blog, and information website, Marlborough Online that is basically a non-profit making celebration of Marlborough.
I'm holding a photo competition and digging into my personal funds to sponsor some prizes.
If you're a Marlburian, I'd love you to enter and/or spread the word, and if you're another local business that's done OK through Covid, I'd love you to to get in touch if you'd like to help sponsor prizes.

Hi! I'm so excited to finally be sharing a project our team has been working on for a while now: First Rung, our first podcast!
First Rung is packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home - it also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
Over six, bite sized episodes, we cover everything from saving that deposit, to sunset clauses, to how to get your newly purchased home ready to move into.
We'll also introduce you to ordinary Kiwis, just like you, who have navigated the choppy waters of home buying in NZ and made it onto that first rung - and pick their brains for how they did it.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
So give it a listen and let us know what you think - and be in to win that mint Resene prize pack. I can't enter and I'm well jealous!
