The Auckland Photo Blog is committed to exploring and celebrating, through photography, the diverse cultures and communities of Auckland. Co-inciding with a month of exciting Pacific Island community events, including Pasifika at Western Springs and Polyfest in Manukau City, is March's Blog theme Pasifika Piks. Submitted photos may be taken at public Pacific Island events or alternatively, at home, school, sports games, family get togethers - anywhere at all - provided it is in Auckland and the photo represents and celebrates the presence of Pacific Island people and culture. The winning photo will be selected by Oscar Kightley (Naked Samoans, bro'Town, Sione's Wedding) and will receive a prize pack including an Olympus camera. Supported by Auckland City Creative Communities, COGS, and North Shore City ARST. Camera prize sponsored by Olympus.
