Winners Announced for Coromandel Capture & Win - Celebrating the Beauty of the Coromandel

In September the Guthrie Bowron Whitianga team invited members of the local community to share their favourite photograph capturing the beauty, character or spirit of the Coromandel Peninsula. The prize was the opportunity to have the winning photograph transformed into a stunning 1m x 1m circular mural wallpaper, ready to hang in the winner’s home. 

The response was fantastic, and the Guthrie Bowron team were thrilled to receive so many wonderful images showcasing the places and moments that make our part of the world so special. And the judges reported that choosing just one winner was certainly not an easy task.

The entries were all fantastic and reminded us just how fortunate we are to live and work in such a beautiful part of the country.  So, we decided to choose two winning photos. After much consideration, we are delighted to announce that the winning entries were submitted by Lynn Clayton and Robbie Shaw. A huge congratulations to them both!

Lynn and Robbie will both receive a mural wallpaper to hang at home. The Guthrie Bowron team are really looking forward to seeing the photographs transformed into their circular murals, and replicas will also be displayed in the Guthrie Bowron Whitianga store. 

Once Lynn and Robbie’s winning murals have been printed and hung in our store, we invite everyone to come in and see them for themselves. You may even find yourself inspired to create a feature of your own!— Guthrie Bowron Team
