Centenary Art Competition
Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park Centenary Art Competition
To celebrate 100 years of holiday memories at Tāhuna Beach Holiday Park, we’re inviting people from all over New Zealand to share their favourite holiday memory through art.
The watercolour featured on this page comes from our archives and captures holiday life at Tāhuna many years ago: tents, families, and simple seaside joy. Now, we’d love to see your holiday memories brought to life.
Your memory doesn’t have to be from summer, the beach, or even Tāhuna. It could be from anywhere in New Zealand, in any season. Grab your crayons, pencils, paints, pastels, or whatever you love to create with, and turn your favourite moment into art.
