Rural Women NZ Business Awards

The NZI Rural Women NZ Business Awards celebrates the innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial excellence of New Zealand’s rural communities. The calibre of this year’s entries indicates that living and working rurally need not be an impediment to achieving excellence across a wide range of sectors.

In 2022 Dayna and Nicole Buchanan, owners of the Craypot in Jackson Bay were awarded the Bountiful Table award.

Entries are now open for the 2023 awards in the following categories:

  • Emerging business
  • Love of the land
  • Creative arts
  • Rural health and wellbeing
  • Rural champion
  • Innovation
  • Bountiful table
  • Supreme

Entries close on Friday, 28 July 2023. Find out more on the Rural Women NZ website.
