NZ Post wins NBR Arts Sponsorship Award

The Bookman was delighted to read that the winner's trophy of the 2008 NBR Awards for Sponosrship of the Arts was presented last night to NZ Post for their sponsorship of the Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.

NZ Post are wonderful corporate citizens and besides the NZ Post Book Awards mentioned above they also sponsor many other activities including two further major sponsorships - the Auckland Theatre Compnay and the the Writers and Readers Week section of the NZ Arts Festival.

My warmest congratulations to NZ Post CEO John Allen and his team for a richly deserved award. Bravo.

I have been fortunate in attending the past two New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards Ceremony, where on both occasions John Allen has been very impressive with his enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, the shortlisted titles. The Book Awards couldn't be in better hands.
