Kia Ora Pottery Folks of Whangarei

Entries for the Open Ceramics Awards are due in 8 days time!
We are excited to announce that our Judge for 2020 is none other than Greg Barron, esteemed Northland artist. We are happy that Greg agreed to be on board this year, and being local to Whangarei means the event can go ahead despite Covid-19 travel restrictions if we have them at that time.

There are two categories of “Best Open Masters” and “Best Emerging” (first time entering a National Show). Applications go through an initial selection round with photographic images only. Selected participants will be notified by 5 October, with an invitation to deliver the physical works for the competition by 23rd October. Judging will happen on 5th November, with the official announcements and opening 5.30pm Friday 6th November.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
