LandMarks Photo Collection
We’re looking for photography from amateur photographers that captures all aspects of rural New Zealand and celebrates how the farming community is making its mark through the land and the people. We hope to showcase this collection through the PGG Wrightson calendar, as well as other PGG Wrightson collateral.
We’ve made a few improvements to how you can participate:
- Submit as many photos as often as you like
- Submit photos each month throughout the entire year
- No need to register/login to participate
- Public online voting each month
- A new look, user-friendly website
