The Christchurch Diocese is running a Christmas photo competition open to all Parishes, with the winning photo to be used for the cover of the Christmas Magazine 2023!

Does your church go all out at Christmas?

Do you do marvellous things with your local community at Christmas?

Do you have a children’s or whole-of-church Nativity play?

If so, this competition is for you.

We want you to send us a few of your best photos—and the winner will be the Cover of the Christmas Magazine in 2023.

Terms and conditions are simple:

• Entries close Monday January 23, 2023.
• The winner will be picked in late January and contacted then. We will also post the top three images on Facebook in February for you to all see.
• Each photo must be a minimum of 4Mb but preferably 7-10Mb in file size. [If your image is less than 4Mb, it can be posted to Facebook but can’t be used as a front cover image.]
• Portrait photos are preferred but, if providing a 7+Mb file size, some landscape may be suitable.
• Each photo must arrive with captions, names (first or both is acceptable), photographer source and appropriate permission to use it. This includes the printed cover, website and Facebook postings.
• Send your entries to editor@AnglicanLife.org.nz or via Wetransfer (free) for bigger files.
• You can enter as many times as you like.
• All decisions, made by the editor and team, are final.
