CELEBRATING YOUTH 

Kaikōura Youth Council hosts a biennial Youth Awards to celebrate our local taiohi and all the awesome things they get up to!
We hosted the first ever Kaikōura Youth Awards on 30/9/17 to celebrate our outstanding youth and young leaders. The second Kaikōura Youth Awards ceremony was held on 19/10/19, and our most recent awards night was held on the 23/10/21
We have another Youth Awards night coming up on 2nd September 2023!
Nominations opened during Youth Week on the 19th May for our 2023 youth awards and closed on August 4th. We are in the process of judging now, and will be in touch with winners and stakeholders from the community with invites to the evening shortly!
