New Zealand'S Best Scenic Feature. — Result of Competition
New Zealand'S Best Scenic Feature.
Result of Competition.
In the April issue of the magazine a competition upon the above subject was announced. It has drawn entries from all parts of New Zealand, and an examination of the 500-word articles received shews that the entrants, for the most part, knew their subjects thoroughly and had a genuine enthusiasm for their favourite scenic feature. The Editor called to his assistance a small committee in finalising the selection, and its members were unanimous in awarding the £5 cash prize for an article by Isobel M. Peacocke upon Wairakei. Miss Peacocke's article will be published in the July issue of the magazine, and we think readers will agree as to its outstanding merit. The names of other prize-winners will be announced next month.
A reminder is given that the next competition “What has been the greatest feat in New Zealand?” closes on the 10th June.
