About The David Awards

The David Awards recognise the unsung heroes in home and small businesses throughout New Zealand, whose tenacity, courage and ingenuity place them firmly at the forefront of entrepreneurship in this country.

Just as David, an ordinary, unassuming young man, used shrewdness and a simple slingshot to conquer the giant Goliath, so these entrepreneurial Davids often punch well above their weight.

The David Awards are simple to enter

The David Awards are about ordinary people and ordinary businesses doing extraordinary things.

While we absolutely understand the necessity and value of great systems and processes, the purpose of this Award is to recognise those people who have had the courage to take an idea and transform it into a business which has made its mark in some special way, which is smart, quirky or has overcome unusual adversity or in some other way has proved that it is exceptional.

The entry form has been kept as short and simple as possible, with the focus on what the business does and in what way it is exceptional. This makes it one of the easiest business awards in New Zealand to enter.
