Forest photography competition returns to inspire local students
20 Aug 24
OneFortyOne is excited to announce the launch of its photo competition today, celebrating National Forestry Day.
Corporate Affairs Manager Charlene Riley said the competition was designed to inspire students to venture into the forest and forge a deeper connection with their natural surroundings.
“Plantation pine forests are an iconic feature of our local landscape,” Charlene said.
“The competition aims to encourage students to explore these incredible places and share their unique perspectives.”
In addition to their photos, students will be asked to write a few words to share what they love about the forest.
“The highlight of the competition in previous years has been reading why people love the forest.”
“We’re looking forward to seeing some different perspectives from students this year, in both the photography and the written element of the competition.”
Winners will be selected in primary school, and secondary school categories, and awarded with their choice of a new iPad Air, DJI drone, or GoPro.
To enter, send photos, together with a completed entry form to weloveforests@onefortyone.com.
For more information including terms, conditions, and entry forms, see the our website under Community.
Entries close Sunday October 13th.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori communities have a strong spiritual connection between people and the land – the wellbeing of one sustains the wellbeing of the other. We strive to build meaningful relationships with iwi as tangata whenua (people of the land/region), to be responsible intergenerational kaitiaki (stewards/guardians) of the land where our forests grow.
