How to Enter

Entries into the Waikato Photographic Society Young Photographer Awards are only to be made through the school at which the student is currently enrolled. 

A single member of staff or contact at each school should complete the Expression of Interest form so we have an idea of the number of entries we will be receiving. To download a form click the link below.
