The campaign, Marlborough's Brilliant Backyard, is kicking off with a quiz updated on Marlborough's main tourism website, marlboroughnz.com, every Tuesday and Thursday.
Each quiz asks four questions that can be answered through information that can be found "somewhere" on the website, and everyone who completes the quiz goes into the draw for a prize.
Tuesday's prize is a dining experience and wine match for two at Arbour, valued at $362.

The Covid-19 outbreak meant the ski field had frozen the sale of their season passes, in case the not for profit club were unable to provide a refund, should the ski field not open.
Rainbow Ski Area general manager James Lazor said the goal was for the field to open on July 3.
"That all depends on the government and their decision on the alert level, but in June we would need to start making a decision on staff," Lazor said.
● Wash your hands.
● Use cough and sneeze etiquette.
● Respect self-isolation.
These are only some of the ways that you can keep yourself and your Neighbours safe!

Pet Direct are the new kids on the pet block and know the industry inside-out; they have over 350 dog years of animal experience within their team. Most importantly right now, they're still delivering all your essential items during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The Pet Direct team do things differently; firstly they ALL have pets of their own. They also personally hand-pick every product they stock; they have over 5,000 items that have been tried and tested (but mostly eaten). They ship daily, from their Auckland-based warehouse, straight to your doorstep (with free delivery over $29), and offer a best price guarantee.
Neighbours - our pets remain a constant source of love and comfort during unsettling times. So show them (and the team at Pet Direct) how special they are. To say thanks for the support (and for being a good neighbour during this tough time), they're offering you 10% off their already awesome prices. Just use the code NEIGHBOURLY10 at checkout.

Our April issue should be with our subscribers now and available in supermarkets and service stations (having been distributed prior to the lockdown restrictions). Whether or not it's on the stands yet is a bit patchy ... but then the incredibly brave and hard-working supermarket staff have quite a bit on their plate right now so I understand if there is a delay! Please, please, please everyone ... don't go out to buy it! Normally of course we love you buying NZ Gardener but right now it's far more important that you stay home and stay safe. (You can buy a copy with your online shopping though! That's safe and I think we are all in the market for something uplifting to read right now).
In this issue we offered to send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who sent us a SSAE. Just to reassure you, we will still send out sweet pea seeds to any reader who is keen to participate. We are just not quite sure when! Ignore the dates in the magazine of when you needed to send the envelope in by - that has been indefinitely extended. But we cannot wait to send you the seed and for those flowers to bloom as by then we will be well through this or even have it behind us. And keep letting us know what you are sowing and growing, send in pictures of your harvest, your flowers or what you are sharing.
We always love hearing from NZ Gardener readers but now when we are all staying apart that connection means more than you can imagine. Stay home, stay safe and stay in touch everyone. For the most updated gardening advice, subscribe to our digital e-zine Get Growing, which will be delivered to your inbox completely free.
After a few days in lockdown, we're starting to get the hang of it. Does anyone have any tips around structuring your day? Are you sticking to a routine? What's working, what's not? How can we use this time in isolation effectively? Let's discuss in the comments.

Nelson Marlborough Health chief medical officer Dr Nick Baker said as the Covid-19 situation unfolded, it resembled the 1918 influenza pandemic in many ways, especially in the way it had spread around the globe.
"We know that left to its devices, this virus will cause a nasty sharp spike of cases and we will have a three month epidemic which will overwhelm our health system.
"Without the impact of mitigation, no health system on this planet can cope with a full blown Covid-19 outbreak," Baker said.
"The big message from me this week is, don't let up, we are dong the right things, don't get a false sense of security because the numbers of new cases might have dropped.
"This isn't over."

Crossroads Marlborough kitchen manager Richard McDonald said due to the Government's lockdown people could not gather in the centre as usual, but they could still collect takeaway food delivered through a window at the centre, or phone in if they need someone to talk to.
"We have a closed door policy but we are operating through the window and over the phone. Even though we are in a shutdown situation we are here for social contact," McDonald said.
