The creativity, technical and storytelling ability is really impressive. From the entries, we’ve had those that have made us laugh out loud and others that have inspired us to reflect or to take action. Above all, the entries showcase rangatahi voices and ideas on how to ensure how to ensure Papatūānuku thrives. Anei, tēnei rā te mihi ki a koutou.
