Display Competition
Whakataetae whakaatu
As part of the Out on the Shelves campaign month each June, we encourage all libraries across the motu to create a pride-themed display promoting their rainbow (LGBTQIA+) literature and media collections.
By creating a display and promoting the rainbow items in your collection, you are indicating to rainbow communities that they are valued, safe and included in your space.
To help promote libraries and the Out on the Shelves resource, we ask participating libraries to enter our annual display competition by sending us photos of their displays.
These are then judged by our Youth Advisory Group who help guide the decision-making and direction of the campaign. The perspective of the group is an incredibly important and valued part of making sure we understand the needs of our rangatahi.
