There’s something missing from the Halberg Games this year… 
No mascot to lead the cheers. No mascot to hype the crowd. No mascot to join the mascot race! 

We reckon it’s time to fix that. And who better to design our very first official Halberg mascot… than our amazing Halberg Friends & Whānau? 

Get your pencils, tablets, paints or crayons ready – because this is your chance to design a character that represents the energy, fun, and spirit of Halberg. 

The winning design might just be brought to life as a REAL mascot and unveiled at a future Halberg event!*

Feeling inspired? Get started now!
There’ll also be a special design station at the Halberg Games to help get your creativity flowing! 

Entries close: Sunday 11 May, 2025  
Submit your masterpiece at: Either to the Halberg Information Hub at the Games, email a photo to communications@halberg.co.nz or if you want us to see the real thing, send it to our office: PO Box 137 050, Parnell, Auckland 1151 

We can’t wait to meet the character who’ll bring the Halberg Games to life for years to come!
