The closing date for the Golden Foot Awards is fast approaching!
These are new national walking awards organised by Living Streets Aotearoa. The closing date is 19th June, so make sure you get your nominations in quickly.
The awards will showcase walking innovations and facilitate the sharing of new ideas across the country. The awards will be presented in a high profile ceremony in Wellington Council chambers on 24th July.
There are numerous categories, so there is something for most projects. Perhaps there is a new facility in your area that has been great for walkers, or maybe a group doing some outstanding work. If you are not sure, if a project is eligible, please contact Janet Lawson on 04 385 8280.
The categories are:
- The New Zealand Best Practice walking Facility
- Top commitment to walking by a New Zealand organisation
- Consultancy Award for walking excellence in New Zealand
- New Zealand Accessibility Innovation Award
- Best New Zealand Walking Promotion
- Best New Zealand Small Walking Project
