The Golden Foot Awards - New Zealand’s National Walking Awards

15 May 2009

Nominate a business or not-for-profit organisation for the Golden Foot Awards! These new industry awards celebrate and recognise New Zealand achievements for walkers. By raising the profile of walking friendly infrastructure and promotions, it is hoped that future projects will give more consideration to walking friendly designs.

The Awards are run by Living Streets Aotearoa which is New Zealand’s national walking and pedestrian organisation. Living Streets works to develop walking-friendly communities throughout New Zealand, and to promote the social, environmental, health and economic benefits of walking as a means of transport and recreation.

The awards will showcase walking innovations and facilitate the sharing of new ideas across the country. The categories for the Golden Foot Awards are:

• The New Zealand Best Practice walking Facility
• Top commitment to walking by a New Zealand organisation
• Consultancy Award for walking excellence in New Zealand
• New Zealand Accessibility Innovation Award
• Best New Zealand Walking Promotion
• Best New Zealand Small Walking Project

Nominations close on 19th June and all nominators will go into a prize draw to receive a free pass to the 2010 Walking Conference.
