Voting for the Selwyn Awards 2023 People’s Choice Award are open.

The Selwyn Awards 2023, presented by IPort Business Park, are held every second year and recognises the outstanding work and achievements of businesses, community organisations and individuals. This year there are eleven categories, ranging from dedicated volunteers helping protect and promote the local environment or heritage, through to inspirational businesses which are diverse and inclusive, as well as young people doing amazing things. A record breaking one hundred and forty eight nominations were received for this year’s Awards. The Awards are based on a points system which allows for multiple gold, silver and bronze winners in each category, along with an overall category winner. All award nominees are eligible for the People’s Choice Award.

People can vote for who they think is the most deserving of the Award and can vote for one nominee per category.

Votes can be cast on the Selwyn Awards website until midnight, on July 23rd.

The Awards Gala will be held at the Selwyn Sports Centre on August 5th, and will be hosted by one of Aotearoa’s favourite television personalities, Hilary Barry

Logo Competition

Darfield Residents Association (DRA) are running a competition, inviting entries for their new logo, which should reflect the purpose of the group. The group aims to recruit and promote the interests of all residents living in Darfield, to seek to improve the conditions for the residents of Darfield and to work in partnership with the Selwyn District Council and other agencies to achieve their goals.

The logo must be easy to use, handle, resize and manipulate for all reproduction purposes. It should be visually appealing on both small (2cm x 2cm) and large scales. The colour must be CMYK or RGB, though the logo may also be produced in black and white. Avoid gradients and half-tones. Entries must be submitted as JPEG files. For quality reproduction purposes, the winning entry must later be submitted in scalable vector graphic format (EPS).

Participants must abide by the rules of the logo competition. The prize for the winning logo is $150.

The competition is open and free to enter. Entries must be submitted by 5pm on August 15th, 2023. The winning logo will be announced on August 31st, 2023.
