Beautiful Awards 2017 – Finalists Announced!

 

The Beautiful Awards, run by Keep New Zealand Beautiful, are just around the corner! This prestigious awards evening celebrates people and communities who Do The Right Thing and demonstrate environmental excellence in all walks of life.

The calibre of entries for the 2017 awards has been very high, which has made judging extremely difficult!

Keep New Zealand Beautiful would like to say a big thank you, first and foremost, to all of our judges. In particular we’d like to thank all of our award entrants for the time and effort that has been put in to submitting your entries. It is fantastic to see the amount of work that is going in to Do The Right Thing, nationwide; long may it continue!

If you’d like to purchase tickets to the awards evening, hosted this year at Craggy Range in the Hawke’s Bay; you can do so on our website, https://www.knzb.org.nz/award-conference-tickets/
