NKBA 2012 Awards
The New Zealand NKBA, in association with Trends Publishing, announce the 2012 Kitchen and Bathroom Design Awards. Entries open January 30, 2012 – April 30, 2012. An extra month has been included to the entry period, to accommodate our designers going to Eurocucina.
The NKBA Design Awards offer an exceptional opportunity for members to promote their designs, themselves, and their companies.
In 2011 the NKBA Design Awards eBook was viewed by over 5,000 potential customers and industry members, and the People’s Choice Award voting page attracted thousands of voters from New Zealand and around the world.
As part of the $300 entry fee, entrants receive a professionally designed A1 size board with their design, including client brief and specification list from the project. These boards are used for judging, and are on display at the awards in July. They are then displayed throughout New Zealand after the awards and then are returned to the entrant, providing an excellent marketing tool for the future.
Awards winners will be featured in Kitchen Trends Vol 28/10, part of the NKBA Design Awards section valued at over $58,000. There are also some wonderful prizes for award winners in 2012, thanks to our sponsors. There are many categories available for entrants, from small spaces and budgets as well regional and creative excellence awards for bathrooms and kitchens.
Thank you to our sponsors who have enabled us to lower the entry fee for 2012 and to Trends for making the online entry process an easy and affordable option.
So come on and enter. Let’s show the world just how great our design really is.
Tony DeLorenzo
NKBA President
A word about photography
When the competition is hot, good photography is so important – it can make all the difference between winning an award and not.
Our staff photographer Jamie Cobeldick is available at a heavily discounted rate of $350 to NKBA members to photograph their projects for the awards.
$350 includes 6 photographs all prepared and ready for submission.
You will receive high-res print versions of the photographs as well as low-res versions ready to use on your websites.
You’ll be getting the same high quality photography as seen throughout the Trends titles – that means your images are guaranteed to meet the required print specifications for publication in Trends if you win an award.
Please contact Jamie directly to book a time
