We're a country blessed with excellent cafes. Encourage your favourite to enter the 2016 New Zealand Cafe of the Year awards...
Is your favourite café worthy of national champion status? Let them know that New Zealand Café of the Year 2016 is now open for entries. Celebrating New Zealand's unique cafe culture, the competition will seek out the best and most loved cafes from around the country in a number of categories, including Best Metro/CBD; Best Suburban; Best Rural and Classic Kiwi.
While the majority of the cafes will be judged by industry professionals, there will also be a People's Choice Award which will be determined through public vote. As well as the title of NZ Café of the Year 2016, the winner will receive a trip to Melbourne worth up to $10,000, a chance to be featured in Dish, and a branded Renault Kangoo for a year.
Registration and more information about this year’s competition can be found at www.nzcafeoftheyear.co.nz
