Hear ye! Hear ye! Indian Weekender’s signature event - the Kiwi-Indian Hall of Fame is here again. Although the date of the main event is yet to be confirmed, we are proud to announce that it will be in May and nominations for the award are being invited at the moment.
An independent jury has been set up to select this year’s recipient of honour. The jury that prefers to remain anonymous is made up of eminent community leaders that are the masters in their own right. The validity of the process of the decision-making, however, is evident from the fact that both our previous recipients have also been honoured for their achievements and contributions internationally by other organisations, including the prestigious Pravasi Bharatiya Samman.
The award is an endeavour to recognize individuals in the Indian community, and honour those who have enriched and enhanced not just our community but also society at large. We celebrate those who having made significant achievements in New Zealand, have contributed positively towards the progress of the country. The award is a testimony to an undeniable recognition in an individual’s field of work, be it politics, business, sports, art, culture, or any other profession.
Needless to say , the jury does find themselves at a stalemate as choosing that one person can
sometimes be dificult and there can be more than one deserving candidate.In search for that jewel among the Kiwi-Indian community, we ask you to nominate such distinguished men and women for getting inducted to the Kiwi-Indian Hall of Fame. The support of the community can go a long way in deciding who the next recipient of the award will be.
The third Hall of Fame will be held in Auckland in May with as much grandeur as the event is known for. Our two previous recipients have been MP Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi and Judge Ajit Singh.
Prime Minister John Key has been the Chief Guest at last two year’s functions, which have been
attended by the crème de la crème of New Zealand.
So if you want to be associated with the biggest and the most prestigious award of the year,
you can start by nominating your favourite achiever for the honour.
Simply fill in the nomination form and send it to us.
