Thank you to everyone who entered Hibiscus Matters’ Father’s Day photo competition.

Congratulations to Anaru Bickford who won a hamper full of prizes from Berlin Clothing, Unichem Manly Pharmacy, Dr Scissors Barber & Beauty, The Ship and Anchor, Life Pharmacy Ōrewa, Hear Again  Whangaparāoa, and more! 

Based on the amount of entries we received, it is clear there are some much loved dads on the Coast. The winner was selected at random – clearly it would have been impossible to choose a winner from so many strong entries! 

Thanks to all the businesses who supported the competition, as well as to the entrants. Here are just some of the photos we received:

Dad Garth with Boston and Millen
Dad James with twins Kyloh and Karah
Dad Shaun with his two boys Jordan and Connor
Dad Aaron with babies Lexi and Willa
Molly, Sebastian and baby Luisa with their father Simon Thorne
John Green holding a teddy made with clothes from his daddy who passed away two years ago
