Hawke’s Bay Heritage Awards

Hawke’s Bay Heritage Awards

The Hawke’s Bay Heritage Awards are held every two years to recognise excellence in heritage conservation and interpretation within the public and private sector.

Hosted every two years, Art Deco Trust produces the Hawke’s Bay Heritage Awards.

The Hawke’s Bay Heritage Awards are our region’s opportunity to recognise and celebrate those whose talents and energies preserve our cultural heritage and inspire us to connect with our past, so that we can all feel more confident in our future. The people who called Te Matau-a-Māui / Hawke’s Bay home in the past have left their mark on the place we all call home today; through their sites of significance, the places they built, the artifacts they left behind and the stories they told. 

Their legacies gift to us our sense of place, our sense of belonging, our sense of identity. They tell the stories of our past and our progress as a region.
