    Join us for this essential webinar designed to help you prepare for the 2026 New Zealand Spirits Awards. Whether you’re entering for the first time or returning with new releases, this session will walk you through everything you need to know to make the most of this year’s opportunities. We’ll cover the full entry process, highlight the refreshed and newly reinstated categories, and outline key judging considerations to help you position your products effectively.

    A special focus will be given to the logistics and commercial benefits for category winners, including how award‑winning products maybe placed in Liquorland stores nationwide - a valuable pathway for visibility, consumer reach, and brand growth.

    The webinar is structured 50/50, with a concise presentation followed by dedicated Q&A time, giving you the chance to ask questions, clarify details, and gain practical insights directly from the Awards team.
