The Beef + Lamb New Zealand Awards foster the sharing of excellence in the sector and tells the story of New Zealand's red meat sector.

We want to showcase and celebrate grassroots innovation, the farming practices, the knowledge, and the skills that underpin New Zealand’s unique sheep and beef industry.

With eight national award categories, four of which are focused on people, the B+LNZ Awards celebrate the emerging achievers, educators, researchers & scientists, champions of the rural sector, farming innovators, emerging technologies,  market leaders, and those who make a significant contribution to the red meat sector.
