Credits

In May 2008 the uplanit.com NEW ZEALAND website won the Highly Commended award presented at the annual Tourism New Zealand awards ceremony in Rotorua, New Zealand. The award was in the category Best New Zealand Online Content for North America.

Much of the credit for this success must go to the individual photographers who so generously allowed us to use their photographs and in particular those from the Flickr.com community. The following list acknowledges their individual contributions to both the Australian and New Zealand websites.

Also credited are New Zealand and Australian regional tourism boards, Tourism New Zealand, Tourism Australia and other organizations and individuals who contributed images for use on these sites.
