Katikati is full of hidden gems, stunning scenery and moments that make our town truly special.

Now, resident photographers have a chance to showcase their vision of Katikati and feature their work in the Katikati Calendar 2026.

Organised by Katch Katikati and supported by an anonymous sponsor, the calendar also doubles as a competition – and invites people all ages to submit photos that capture the essence of the community, said Katch Katikati marketing manager Fiona Powell.

To enter, Powell said photographers must complete the online entry form at: katikati.org.nz and upload their photos. Each entrant can submit up to three photos that reflect the theme of “Love Katikati”.

“A panel of judges will select 12 images to be featured in the calendar, with one additional image chosen for the cover,” said Powell. “Photographers whose images are selected will receive a free copy of the calendar and be credited in the publication.”

The Katikati Calendar 2026 will be available for sale at The Arts Junction and other approved outlets, providing an exciting opportunity for photographers to share their work with the community, Powell said.

“Don’t miss out on the chance to be a part of something special. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just someone with a love for Katikati, your perspective matters.”

The deadline for submissions is August 17. For more information and to enter, visit: katikati.org.nz
