2022 Christmas Display Entries
Last year, the Hedgehope Makarewa, Waihopai, Gore and Mid Aparima Catchment Groups came up with the very cool idea to have Christmas displays across the region to spread some rural festive cheer throughout Southland. And it was a huge success.
This year, register your display by contact your local Catchment Group Coordinator. You can register personally or as part of your Catchment Group.
You can enter any time up until Christmas, but spot prizes will be announced on the 23 December. The Christmas display map will be loaded on 9 December, so if you want to be in it, register soon! Don't worry if you miss that deadline as we'll update the map every few days.
