Take Anzac photo and win from ww100.govt.nz

We want to see what Anzac Day means to you

Anzac Day began to take shape in the midst of the First World War, as New Zealand marked the first anniversary of the Gallipoli landings on 25 April 1915. Within a few years core elements of the day – including the structure of memorial services – were set and the Anzac story and sacredness of the commemoration became enshrined.

100 years later we want New Zealanders to think about what Anzac Day means to them now so we can build a picture of Anzac Day 2016. Whatever you do on 25 April, be it getting involved in your local community’s Anzac Day activities, or enjoying taking time away from work or study - grab your camera, smartphone or tablet, take a photo and share it with us!

What to do

Take a photo on Anzac Day (Monday 25 April) 2016 that expresses what Anzac Day means to you as a contemporary New Zealander, and in 25 words or less add a caption or title that provides some context and explanation of your photo.
