The major prize pack for #MyAnzacDay photo competition consists of New Zealand Post’s new your maintenance Silver Proof Commemoration Coin, two World War 1 books, and Nga¯Tapuwae New Zealand First World War Trails merchandise pack. The #MyAnzacDay photo competition, co- fertiliser ordinated by WW100 – New Zealand’s First World War Centenary Programme, encourages New Zea- landers both at home and overseas to send in a picture of what Anzac Day means 100 years on from the first Anzac service. ‘‘Anzac Day isn’t just about attending a service – people also use the day to spend time with their families, to help neighbours or their local community or simply chill out,’’ says WW100 Director Sarah Davies. ‘‘We want to collect these photos to show a con- temporary picture of Anzac Day.’’ There will be two major winners and two runner-ups, who will be announced on May 12. A People’s Choice winner will be determined by the most likes on WW100’s Facebook album and Judge’s Choice winner will be selected by a judging panel. To enter the #MyAnzacDay photo competition, people need to take a photo on Anzac Day that expresses what the day means to them as a con- temporary New Zealander. They then need to add a caption that explains their photo, and upload it to Facebook or Twitter with the hashtag #MyAnzacDay. For those who do not use social media, email entries will be accepted as well. Entries open on April 25 and close on May 2. Website: ww100.govt.nz/myanzacday-photo- competition.
