The quality and depth of thought behind each entry in the second E Tū Whānau Poster Competition is nothing short of inspirational.
That’s the reaction E Tū Whānau Kaiwhakahaere Ann Dysart had as gorgeous images expressing whanaungatanga, tikanga and kōrero awhi were uploaded to the competition’s facebook page.
“It’s been inspiring to see the different ways these values, three of the six that underpin the E Tū Whānau kaupapa, have been interpreted and celebrated by people of all ages and backgrounds,” said Ann Dysart.
Winning entries will be used to create posters and other resources to help share the E Tū Whānau kaupapa.
All entries can be viewed in the poster competition gallery on the E Tū Whānau Facebook page.
This year’s E Tū Whānau Poster Competition attracted more than 230 entries. It was held in partnership with Māori Radio and the Māori Media Network. Posters were judged by Wiremu Barriball (Revolution Aotearoa) and Bronwyn Waipuka-Callander (B.WAIPUKAart Studio) in conjunction with the E Tū Whānau team.
Ann Dysart acknowledges and thanks everyone who took the time to think about the values and create their own visual interpretation of them.
“Entrants have put a lot of thought into both the artwork and the kōrero for their posters. We thank all of them for taking the time to celebrate these values through art.”
