NZ Compare Awards 2025: More Details Coming Soon!
The NZ Compare Awards are back for their 9th year, continuing our mission to help Kiwis make fully informed choices when it comes to broadband, power, and mobile services.
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that we will be hosting an event in 2025 due to a reduction in sponsors and tighter budgets across the industry, but the awards will still run in full.
We believe it’s important to keep recognising the companies and services that go above and beyond for consumers, providing transparent comparisons that highlight the very best in the market.
The NZ Compare Awards also give the industry a chance to pause, take stock, and celebrate successes – something we know is invaluable in a fast-moving and competitive sector. For the winning providers, it’s an opportunity to showcase their achievements and build trust with customers.
For Kiwis, it’s a chance to see which companies are truly delivering on their promises, helping them choose services that suit their needs and deliver great value.
We hope to still see record entries from a wide range of organistions to ensure we give our judges a major headache!

There is a fee of $149 + GST per award entry.
The fee we charge covers the costs of administration and contributes towards the cost of running the event. We have kept this fee as low as possible, to make our awards accessible and affordable to all. Keep in mind that the reward of being shortlisted or winning your chosen category could be priceless! Get started on your entry and be recognised for your achievements for your contribution to the New Zealand Broadband, Energy and Mobile sectors.
You can pay for your entry (ies) online here.
Like the common phrase... size doesn't matter! Our awards are your company's time to let your achievements be recognised, acknowledged and maybe grab that win.
The aim of the NZ Compare brands and comparison platforms is to empower the Kiwi Consumer to compare what’s out there and make a fully informed choice when switching. Any and all Internet, Energy or Mobile Providers can enter the NZ Compare Awards as long as they meet the specific entry criteria for each category. Our judging panel consists of impartial and trusted experts, and judging is conducted in a confidential environment. Your entry will not be judged based on whether you partner with NZ Compare.

| Making a Difference |
The judges for the 2025 NZ Compare Awards will be chosen for their expertise in energy, broadband, mobile, technology, and media.
Alongside the senior NZ Compare team, we will assemble a panel of respected experts, including some of New Zealand’s top journalists, technology commentators, consumer advocates, and industry professionals. This exemplary panel is completely independent of any internet, power, or mobile retailer. Their specialist insights, combined with the voices of the Kiwi public, will determine the scores that decide the NZ Compare Award winners.
All 2025 NZ Compare Award entries will be reviewed by an independent panel of industry experts. Each submission will be assessed on its merits against the official criteria, with finalists and winners chosen based on the judges’ scores. To give your entry the best chance, provide complete, detailed information that directly addresses the category criteria and stays within the word limit.
Our judges are bound by non-disclosure agreements and will not take part in categories where a commercial conflict exists. The judging process, held two weeks after entries close, combines individual scoring with group discussions moderated by our event team to ensure fairness and transparency.
