📣WINDOW DISPLAY COMPETITION 📣
Calling all Wairoa shops, organisations and businesses!

To celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori 2026, Wairoa: Te Reo Town is running a shop-window display competition, and we’d love to see our main streets filled with colour, creativity and te reo Māori.

Businesses are invited to create a window display that celebrates te reo Māori during 14–20 September 2026. Displays will be judged on how well they celebrate te reo Māori, how eye-catching and visually interesting they are, and whether there is something special or stand-out about them.

The winner will be announced on Friday 18th September and the winning display will receive a $150 morning tea shout from the café of their choice.

Entries close: 5.00pm, Wednesday 9 September 2026.

Displays must be completed by 12 noon, Monday 14 September 2026.

Enter online here: https://napier.wufoo.com/forms/q68cpd70bk2w8j/

Let’s celebrate te reo Māori together and bring Wairoa’s windows to life for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.
