Help Stop the Spread of Invasive Gold Clams
As people flock to our beautiful lakes over summer, we want to make sure everyone knows about invasive gold clams—and how to avoid spreading them to Lake Taupō and other lakes across Aotearoa.
Keeping this important message front of mind over the holidays is crucial, and we think cool, shareable videos are a great way to do it.
- Videos must be shared with us by February 5th. Winners will be announced on February 7th.
🎥 Video Challenge: Get Creative & Win Prizes!
We’re challenging you to get together with friends and create a video that helps spread the key messages about invasive gold clams.
If you take part, you could win prizes!
What’s up for grabs:
- 💰 $300 in cash prizes, thanks to Harcourts Taupō and local legend Didymo Dave
- 🎁 Special prizes donated by awesome local businesses, including The Cozy Corner
💡 How to Get Involved
Your video can be anything you like—fun, informative, or totally creative. For example, you could:
- 🎭 Create a short skit with friends and film it
- 💻 Use an app or computer programme to make a video with pictures, text, and music
Just make sure you have permission to share any images you use online.
🌊 Be Creative. Have Fun. Protect Our Lakes.
Get involved, spread the message, and help protect Lake Taupō and our treasured waterways for future generations.
