The *Official* 2021 List of Wedding Industry Awards (NZ) Finalists
“The Power of Us”
The last few weeks have been a crazy Rollercoaster ride as a nation as we contend with the ramifications of this newest variant of the Corona virus. One of the highlights amidst all the mayhem has been working through the Mountain of entries to this years with a view to narrowing down our finalists of the formidable submissions. Of our 23 categories, we had 3 categories each of which had over 10 entries in each. This make it an extremely difficult exercise to narrow the field given the excellent caliber of entries received.
As such, and given the unique situation Covid-19 presented us in 2020/21, we make the decision to allow a maximum of 6 entries* (*as opposed to our traditional 5 entry max per category).The theme we set back in 2019 for what was to have been our 2020 awards gala was, “The Power of Us”. It seems even more apt now as we navigate the challenges
One final thought. Whether you and your business are among this years named finalists (or not), we congratulate you on investing your time and enthusiasm in entering. We still hope to have you join us at the awards gala as it’s always a fantastic night of networking with industry peers, great food, and entertainment.
Ngā mihi nui,
Pete.
WIANZ Director.
