The awards were first made in 2014. In 2020 the awards event was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Nominations are invited from the public, and a panel selects finalists in each category. The finalists are invited to an awards dinner where the recipients are announced. The award trophy is designed and made by Ainsley O'Connell.
Categories
edit
The awards are presented in three categories.
Wirihana Leadership Award
editThe award is open to all Architecture + Women NZ members who are in their second decade after graduation. The award is named after Moana Wirihana (Te Kawerau ā Maki) whose leadership saw the design and construction of many wharenui (meeting houses) in New Zealand.[3]
Munro Diversity Award
editThis award is "open to all genders, and looks specifically for evidence of continued support strategies for diversity in the workplace, including but not necessarily restricted to gender". The award is named for the structural problems in early New Zealand architecture where affluence was a requirement for education, and bias meant women often were not named architect even though this is what they were doing.[3]
Chrystall Excellence Award
editThis award is open to women with three or more decades of architecture practice. It is named for Lillian Chrystall who in 1967 was the first woman to win a New Zealand Institute of Architects national award.[3]
Judges
editThe jury for the 2023 awards had four members: Justine Clark, Craig Moller, Sarah Treadwell and Carinnya Feaunati.[4] The jury for the 2020 awards was Lori Brown, Julia Gatley, Raukura Turei and Andrew Tu’inukuafe.[1] The jury for the 2017 awards was Brit Andresen, Sharon Jansen, Anna Tong and Dave Strachan.[5]
