The Ministry for Primary Industries is on the hunt for individuals, groups or businesses who’ve made a positive difference to New Zealand’s biosecurity. 

Whether it’s through engaging in innovation (e.g. to drive smarter, better or more efficient ways of detecting and managing biosecurity risk across New Zealand), science (e.g. research), community or leadership that supports New Zealand biosecurity, we want to hear about it.

If you, your organisation, staff member or a volunteer has initiated or been involved with a programme or one-off event that focuses on biosecurity, we want to celebrate this.

There are 6 award categories:

• Community Award 
• Māori Award
• Industry Award
• Government Award
• Supreme Award
• Minister’s Biosecurity Award (for an individual)

Entries close 7 July 2017. The awards ceremony is on 2 August 2017 in Wellington.
