We always endeavour to get your submitted items online as soon as possible, however each article, photo and recipe must first be checked by our staff. Please be patient as this could take up to several weeks. You can see all the submitted items on your Account Homepage and their status. Status Accepted means that your item has been approved by our staff and appears on KiwiWise.co.nz. Status Pending means that your item is waiting to be reviewed by our staff. If you can no longer see your photo, article or recipe on your account homepage that means that it was deemed as not appropriate for KiwiWise.co.nz.

We are not a fussy bunch here but there could be several reasons for photos, recipes and articles being rejected.
