WHANGANUI REGIONAL HERITAGE TRUST
2023 Official Sponsors Proposal
In this Section:
Heritage Awards 2020
Summary
The Whanganui Regional Heritage Awards were established by the Whanganui Regional Heritage Trust in 2020 to develop and deliver a quality programme of Heritage Awards in the Whanganui, Ruapehu and Rangitikei Districts. The Awards will be held every two to three years, to recognise excellence in heritage retention and conservation, heritage tourism and heritage education within the public and private sector and will promote the values of best practice heritage retention and conservation to the wider community.
We are working with Historic Places Aotearoa (the national body representing independent heritage organisations) and Heritage New Zealand, Pouhere Taonga to establish The New Zealand Heritage Awards.
Funding for the Whanganui Regional Heritage Awards come through sponsorship, with naming rights to an Award Category, along with a host of supporting donors. The Trust will work collaboratively with existing heritage agencies and stakeholders and through its own marketing initiatives to ensure maximum exposure for the Awards, the Award finalists, recipients and sponsors to the wider community.
We hope you can join us to support our communities and recognise our past for the future. Below is a summary of our support proposal and we welcome your support in any way you can provide.
Entry to the Awards are now open and close on 22 September 2023.
The 2023 Awards Ceremony will be held on the 11th November 2023 in Whanganui at Big School, Whanganui Collegiate School.
