E Tū Whānau 2018 poster competition open for entries

E Tū Whānau is holding a poster design competition for the first time.

E Tū Whānau is a movement for positive change developed by the Māori Reference Group. The poster competition is designed to highlight positive change through a focus on the E Tū Whānau values of Aroha, Mana Manaaki, and Whakapapa:

"Art and design are powerful tools to communicate ideas, convey emotion, and inspire action. The values which underpin E Tū Whānau provide endless possibilities for innovative design, so this year for the first time we are running a poster design competition."

To enter the competition posters need to feature one of the following E Tū Whānau values:

• Aroha - Giving with no expectation of return [Gold/Yellow]
• Mana Manaaki - Building the mana of others, through nurturing, growing and challenging [Orange/Red]
• Whakapapa - Knowing who you are and where you belong [Green]

The poster must incorporate the value as a theme, as well as the word and the related colour. More details about the competition are on the E Tū Whānau Poster Competition Facebook post.

In addition to prizes, winning entries selected by the judges will be used to create new posters for the E Tū Whānau values.

You can submit posters from 1 through 21 October 2018. Voting will be open for one week from 22 October to 29 October 2018.
