The screen industry was hugely impacted by the restrictions put in place to help eliminate COVID-19 in Aotearoa, which is why the NZTVA team made the tough call in May to reduce entry fees and move the ceremony to an online broadcast.

 

However, we are very pleased to announce with thanks to support from NZ On Air, the New Zealand Television Awards will be returning as a Gala event on Wednesday November 18 at Shed 10 in Auckland.

The event will see the Gala and Craft ceremonies combined into one celebratory event, and the Awards will be supper-style with table seating for guests.

 

A special message from NZ On Air:

​

We all know what a strange and challenging year 2020 has been, and we are only half way through. Our industry has rolled with the COVID-19 punches, and shown its resilience and creativity. 

 

NZ On Air wants to ensure our industry is still able to get together and celebrate the many achievements of the past year at the New Zealand Television Awards.

 

We've stepped up our sponsorship support this year because we think it’s the right thing to do, and to say thank you to everyone who had a part in the local content that's kept New Zealanders entertained and stimulated this year. 

 

Roll out the red carpet and sequins...and please join this much-needed and uplifting celebration.
