Christchurch Photo Hunt 2025

Christchurch City Libraries runs the Photo Hunt to gather photographs from across the community, along with the unique stories of their creators.

Photo Hunt aims to gather photographs, digital and physical, from across the community, along with the unique stories of their creators. These photographs are made available via the Discovery Wall and form part of the permanent heritage collections housed on Canterbury Stories at Christchurch City Libraries.

This year the public will be able to contribute to the Photo Hunt in the following ways:

  • Online via Discovery Wall or the submission form on the libraries’ website
  • By attending a digitisation event at Tūranga, Lyttelton or Fendalton libaries (see separate event listings)
  • Scanning their own collections Tūranga or at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre

Contribute your photos and stories and be in to win!
