� NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! �We are so excited to officially launch the Taranaki Youth Inspiration Awards 2026! ��
These awards are about celebrating and recognising young people from Taranaki's diverse ethnic communities who inspire others.
And inspiration doesn't always look like trophies, top grades or big achievements. �
It might be a young person who has overcome challenges, quietly supports others, proudly represents their culture, shows kindness, steps outside their comfort zone, gives back to their community, works hard towards their goals, or simply inspires the people around them.
We want to hear their stories.
If a young person comes to mind while you're reading this, nominate them! �
