We're back for 2024! The Stella Awards

Celebrating your resilience, your big achievements, your small wins and all the challenges you’ve overcome along the way. These awards are for you, Taupō District!

Stella 2024 Linvingstone Sq

Introducing the Stella Awards

Stella Awards 2024 will celebrate businesses in the Taupō region that have shown incredible resilience over what has turned out to be a more up and down 2-year period than anyone could have ever guessed.

The old challenges morphed into new challenges, and yet businesses have hustled, dug in, stayed awake in bed, and poured more in than they ever thought they could.  We want to acknowledge these efforts and give business owners and frontline teams a reason to leave their burden at the door.

Once again, we will award both teams and individuals for their amazing achievements, rather than awarding for business size or industry.  The categories remain light-hearted and achievement focused, the entry form is still easily understood, and the process is as stream-lined as ever.  The team awards are for businesses that have stood together throughout the rollercoaster ride, and star performer awards for individuals who have been the shining lights of the business.

Applaud with us, laugh with us and hold back the empathy tears with us as we give the business community in Taupō an awards programme they all deserve.

We can’t wait to hear your stories and celebrate with you.  Let’s get excited for the Stella Awards in 2024!!
