We want you to send us the most iconic pics of your epic adventures.

RULES:
All photos need to have been taken in NZ
All photos need to have been taken within the past year, so from 17/09/17 to now
Submit electronically into the linked file so you don't have to worry about the photo size
You are limited to 2 photos per category
The only digital manipulation permitted is cropping, sharpening and tonal or exposure adjustments (if it's not obvious, it's all good)
Panoramic stitched images are acceptable provided the only manipulation other than stitching is cropping, sharpening and tonal or exposure adjustments.
