Awards

Award for Outstanding Contribution to Archaeology

This award recognises an individual member of the New Zealand Archaeological Association who has made a specific and outstanding contribution to archaeology. The recipient may come from any sector of archaeology, be it academic, consultancy, government department or volunteer, but they must be a member of the association. With the exception of public archaeology (recognised by the Public Archaeology Award), a varied range of contributions to the field of archaeology will be considered, such as the development of a new technology, a new theoretical or methodological approach, or significant fieldwork or data analysis. Preference will be given to specific projects, rather than worthy candidates who might be better recognised by the lifetime achievement award. Factors such as publication and/or dissemination of the work will be taken into account.

This award will be made biennially. Nominations, outlining why the candidate is a worthy recipient of the award, should be made to secretary@nzarchaeology.org by 16 November 2018. The winner will be announced at the conference dinner in Auckland on 30 November.

NZAA Photo Competition 2018

NZAA members are invited to submit their best archaeological photographs to the NZAA Photo Competition 2018. Subject matter must be archaeological (e.g. sites, archaeologists working, artefacts, etc) and entries must be submitted via email. Rather than sending in your hard copy photos, just submit your high resolution JPEG or TIFF images and we’ll arrange the standardised printing of them for display and judging at the NZAA/AAA Conference 2018. Entries will be judged via a ballot box at conference, with the winner announced at the conference dinner.

The winning entry will be displayed on the NZAA website and may also be chosen as a future cover of Archaeology in New Zealand, the official publication of NZAA, in accordance with the General Conditions of Entry. Winning entries will also receive a prize, to be presented at the combined NZAA/AAA Annual Conference 2018. Photographs may also be used on the NZAA Facebook page.

Please submit your entry, including a title and/or caption if you wish, to secretary@nzarchaeology.org no later than 5.00pm on Friday 16th November 2018.

Entrants don’t have to be attending conference to enter but must be a current member of NZAA.
