The NZSA Business Journalism Awards were established to encourage, identify and applaud outstanding business journalism in New Zealand. Business journalists working in New Zealand’s print, online and broadcasting media are encouraged to submit entries to three discipline categories – news, feature and commentary.

The winner of the supreme NZSA Business Journalist of the Year Award will be chosen from the winners of the three discipline categories.  In addition, journalists who enter for any or all of these awards and who have been working as journalists for up to three years will, if they apply and provide additional supporting material, be considered for the Young Business Journalist of the Year Award.

The closing date for entries in every category has now moved to October 10th 2021, submitted via the official online form below.  The two finalists in each category will be notified in late October and will be assisted to attend the event as guests of NZSA.

Winners will be announced at the NZSA Business Journalism Awards dinner at The Northern Club in Auckland on December 10th 2021.  Purchase your Awards Dinner tickets here.
