The season for awards - yawn!!
OPINION: It seems every bugger in this country can get an award these days.
The judges now face the challenging task of choosing finalists in the four entry categories: Love of the Land (sponsored by Agrisea Ltd), Help I Need Somebody (sponsored by Telecom), Making it in Rural (sponsored by Fly Buys) and Stay, Play, Rural (sponsored by Access Homehealth Ltd).
These four category winners will go on to compete for the title of Supreme winner, Enterprising Rural Women Award 2013.
"This is the fifth year we've run the Enterprising Rural Women Awards," says RWNZ national president," Liz Evans. "Each year it's rewarding to see the diversity of businesses successfully run by women in rural areas and the significant inputs they make into the wider economy.
"Through these awards Rural Women NZ aims to celebrate their success and raise awareness of women's entrepreneurship, which helps to grow dynamic rural communities."
The Enterprising Rural Women Award winners will be announced at a special ceremony to be held on the opening night of the Rural Women NZ national conference in Christchurch on 23 May.
