Now Open: Tennis NZ 2023 Service Awards Nominations

Friday, 09 June 2023
NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN UNTIL 28 JULY 2023 for two special service awards. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to recognize players, administrators, officials, coaches and volunteers who’ve contributed significantly to tennis during their lifetime.
 
There's no better way to recognise those making a difference in New Zealand.
 
The Te Tohu Taumata and the Te Tohu Hāpai service award nominations will be considered by the Tennis NZ Honours Committee and those successful nominees will be recognised at the Tennis NZ AGM in October 2023 and at the Tennis in NZ Awards ceremony in December 2023.
 
This is an important way for the tennis community to recognise outstanding achievements and service to our sport. Don’t let these fantastic people miss out on being recognised!
 

The Tennis NZ Honours Committee have established criteria for both awards and have prepared the nomination forms which can be found in the links below.
