HAWKES BAY HOSPITALITY AWARDS NOMINATIONS OPEN

The Hawkes Bay hospitality industry is to be celebrated for the 11th year at the 2018 Hawkes Bay Hospitality Awards, an industry event aimed at highlighting the very best of the region.

Presented by the Restaurant Association of New Zealand, the Hawkes Bay Hospitality Awards have been recreated with a fresh new identity. The new regional hospitality awards design has come from the need to create a more streamlined and consistent awards platform throughout New Zealand, with the Hawkes Bay Hospitality Awards representing the highly coveted biannual celebration for its region.

The Restaurant Association has partnered with Eat New Zealand, a collective of New Zealand’s chefs, producers, media, tourism and event operators, who are all dedicated to promoting New Zealand’s best food, beverage, and culinary destinations to the world.

Nominations are now open to the industry until Friday, 6 July. Final voting will begin on Monday, 9 July and winners will be revealed at the awards evening on Monday, 6 August at the Napier Conference Centre.

The Hawkes Bay general public are also able to vote for their favourite establishment in the Hawkes Bay Today People’s Choice Award category from 1 July.
