“We will be celebrating the work of New Zealand cinematographers on high profile productions but equally we will be bringing to light those quiet achievers whose credits are often in the background, but who are producing high quality images in television, or for the web,” says Dave Cameron ACS, NZCS Awards chair.

“Each award is made independently on merit so there could be more than one gold award in each category. This encourages wide participation gives a low budget production the same chance for a gold award as a big budget production.” 

He says right now we are working to bring sponsors on board, and are delighted at the response from key players in the industry. 

The call for entries and a PR campaign begin in earnest during July and to make sure you hear about it in plenty of time to get your entry in, subscribe to our newsletter, or join as a member.
