Young creatives given chance to shine

Students with a passion for the creative industries are being given the chance to launch their 
careers by entering a top competition.

The Q Awards is an annual contest for 16-18-year-olds in Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty, with categories including photography, moving image, graphic design, and architectural and product. Now in its third year, the Q Awards provide entrants with 
the opportunity to have their work judged by industry leaders and compete to win prizes that will help develop their careers.

“The Q Awards are a great opportunity for young creatives to showcase their work,” says Quentin van Heerden, the Managing Director of Q Awards organiser The Quentosity Group. “There have been some excellent entries across all the categories in the past two years. 
I can’t wait to see the entries this year and wish all participants the best of success. Head to the website today and start planning your entry!”


The Q Awards are free to enter. Entries close in early November ahead of a live-streamed awards event due to be held in early December. To find out more and to enter, head to: www.qawards.co.nz
