Be part of a vibrant initiative to brighten our town centre with a stunning new mural on the side of BBQ B.O.I retail shop on Fairway Drive.

We are inviting everyone — young and old — to share their personal stories about what summer in Kerikeri means to them. The winning stories will inspire the design of the mural, making it a true reflection of our town’s summer magic.

Judges will select three outstanding stories. Elements from these stories will be woven into the final mural, creating a community-inspired masterpiece that captures the essence of summer in Kerikeri. Each of the three winning storytellers will receive a $100 Prezzy Card.

Write a 300 word story on what summer in Kerikeri means to you. Entries open 1 July 2025 and close on 8 August 2025.
