2020 Accreditation Applications

If you have been a full member for more than three years it might be time to think about NZCS Accreditation.  You'll need to have reached a level of world-class visual storytelling expertise that reaches past professional competence and into the top level of cinematography in your chosen field. 

NZCS accreditation means recognition in the international camera community as a master cinematographer with a substantive body of work that reaches a consistently high, world-class standard.  To find out more read our NZCS accreditation overview. 

Accredited members are the only people who are allowed to use the letters NZCS after their name.

Historically, accreditations have been awarded at the New Zealand Cinematography Awards dinner annually in October. (The judging process is completely separate from the New Zealand Cinematography Awards). Alternative celebrations will be made for the 2020 accreditation presentations.

To apply, download and complete the application form, and  submit your application, supporting documents and media to the address provided.
