How to join the Photo Gallery

Have you taken photographs of your World Environment Day event? Would you like to share these photographs with other New Zealanders and also have the best one chosen for display on this website? Then read on…

Just follow these 6 easy steps:

1. Choose your best event photos (maximum of 20).
2. Make sure they are saved as jpgs, 72dpi (web resolution), and with a name that includes your event name and a unique descriptive tag.
3. Tell us whether you are okay with your photos being freely shared and reused or not through the Flickr photo-sharing website. Please read copyright information in the box below. (see box below*).
4. Email them to WEDphotos@mfe.govt.nz along with a short caption (20 words maximum) for each photo (number the captions and the photos so they can be matched up).
5. Wait 1 day (to give us time to upload).
6. We will select the best photos from the events to display on our mini gallery on this page.

If you already have World Environment Day photos shared on Flickr, join up to the World Environment Day group
and add your photos to the pool.
