The Basketball New Zealand Awards (BBNZ Awards) are an annual event that appropriately acknowledge members of our basketball community who have given tirelessly to our sport.
A full review of the BBNZ Award structure was undertaken in 2015 and approved by the BBNZ Board. The award structure has four tiers:
Tier 1: Legends
Tier 2: BBNZ Hall of Fame and exceptional services to basketball awards
Tier 3: Annual awards for service and those currently involved in the game
Tier 4: Long Service, Life Membership and Star Award
The Awards Selection Committee is made up of the following members:
Hilary Carr – New Zealand Basketball Foundation
Bill Eldred – New Zealand Basketball Foundation
Paul Stigley- New Zealand Basketball Foundation
Glenda Taylor- New Zealand Basketball Foundation
David Huxford – Basketball New Zealand (process and compliance only)
The Basketball New Zealand Awards is a fully plated event with three course meal, drinks and entertainment. The event has sold out the last two years. This year it will be held on Friday 8 May 2020 at Te Marae in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington.
