Every year New Zealand Secondary Schools bring the best teams together across the country to compete in a school v school sporting competition.
2021 marks the 32nd anniversary of the Hokonui Fashion Design Awards - a significant achievement as the longest running fashion design awards of their type in New Zealand.
Held in Gore in late July, the awards are firmly established as a key event on the national fashion calendar and continue to attract entries and interest from throughout New Zealand. Since 1988, the awards have been a competitive platform for all amateur fashion designers to showcase their designs in front of well-regarded industry leaders. Over the previous years the judging panel has included Karen Walker, Nic Blanchet, Francis Hooper, Trelise Cooper, Kate Sylvester, Liz Findlay, Doris Du Pont and Margi Robertson (of NOM*d).
Entries for the 2021 Hokonui Fashion Design Awards close on the 1st of June.
Each year over Mothers Day weekend, the Waimumu Art Exhibition is held, attracting new, emerging and established artists from around New Zealand. 2019 marks our 10th annual Exhibition.
