2020 Photography Competition

As part of our ongoing promotion of dams, canals, and stopbanks, NZSOLD are looking for photographs that illustrate the importance and magnificence of water-retaining structures in New Zealand. We are running a photography competition to collect photographs that showcase our dams and appurtenant structures here in New Zealand or work that our engineers are doing overseas.

2018 Winner: Kerryn Swanepoel Lower Nihotupu Dam Spillway

2018 Runner-up: Nicola Ponsonby Ruataniwha Dam and Spillway

The photographs can be of any type of engineered dam (including appurtenant structures, canals, or stopbanks; but not natural or landslide dams) and we are looking for a wide range of photographs to demonstrate the benefits of dams and reservoirs.

1st prize of $300; 2nd Prize of $200; or 3rd Prize of $100, and a complimentary copy of the book “Walls for Water”.

All photographs will also be published on the NZSOLD website.
Entries are now open. Please submit your photographs by email to nzsoldcommittee@gmail.com, accompanied by the completed entry form. Closing date for entries is Friday 25th September 2020 and the winners will be announced in conjunction with a NZSOLD technical event in November 2020.
