The entries are now open for the EECA Awards – the event that celebrates excellence and innovation in energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Who can enter?

The Awards cover nine categories, and entries are invited from innovative projects and programmes throughout New Zealand. Entrants can come from any sector and any sized business including small organisations and large corporates. There are categories for business, public sector and community projects.

Whether it’s about more competitive business, healthier homes or a better environment, any organisation that’s undertaken a successful energy efficiency or renewable energy project is welcome to enter.

There is also an Award for an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to improving energy efficiency and encouraging renewable energy.

Why enter?

Winning an EECA Award – or even being shortlisted as a finalist – can give you and your organisation invaluable recognition for what you’ve achieved. This can:

• bring publicity and profile, boosting your brand and reputation
• raise your profile with stakeholders, community, partners and investors
• reward you and your staff for a job well done
• build support for further energy or sustainability projects
• inspire others to join you or follow suit.

Entries close at 5pm on Monday 20 February 2012. Winners will be announced at a ceremony on Wednesday 23 May 2012 at the Langham Hotel, Auckland.
