The Impact Awards celebrates remarkable young New Zealanders making a difference for our future, with $30,000 in prizes awarded across six major categories – climate, enterprise, inclusion wellbeing, local, and global impact categories. The Awards Ceremony takes place during the annual Festival for the Future, a 3-day summit showcasing leadership and innovation for impact. The Awards attracts 400+ attendees, with an innovative 50-50 split table model that sees young people seated alongside CEOs and senior leaders from business, government and community sectors. The Impact Awards, and Festival for the Future are both initiatives from the team at Inspiring Stories – the Kiwi charity backing young New Zealanders to change the world. The Founder & CEO of Inspiring Stories, Guy Ryan, was Awarded Young New Zealander of the Year and is an Edmund Hillary Fellow. More about Inspiring Stories – www.inspiringstories.org.nz
