2025 Pop-up – Natural Abstract

Category: 2025 pop-up
Natural ABSTRACT

In this year’s pop-up category, Natural Abstract, we’re looking for striking, surreal photos of nature where colours, shapes, and textures melt together to create something beyond the ordinary. Whether it’s the twisted bark of a tree, the fluid patterns of ripples on water, or the rugged beauty of rocks, let your creativity roam free.

The 2025 Wild Dunedin theme celebrates the incredible story of our unique geology. So, immerse yourself in the region’s natural wonders—from dramatic coastlines to stunning rock formations—and show us how you can capture Dunedin’s wild, abstract beauty in a whole new light!
