Issue 9: Tangata Whenua / Local - Submissions open!
Tāmaki Makaurau will soon be overrun by billboards promoting mayoral and local council election campaigns - an election that’s often ignored, yet incredibly important. The next team of Auckland Councillors could change the price of public transport, increase funding for music and arts in the city, and rework the way our urban areas interact with the environment.
We want to hear about what’s most important to you for the future of Tāmaki Makaurau - or, simply a piece reflecting on locally based scenes, communities, and projects. Anything to do with Auckland, the local elections, AUTSA’s student elections, and anything else local goes.
Pitches close on the 18th of July.
Pieces are due on the 25th of July.
