Nominations
The New Zealand Search and Rescue Council has established the NZSAR Awards as an annual national award programme to recognise worthy achievements in the field of search and rescue in the New Zealand Search and Rescue Region.
Award categories
There are two categories of SAR related activity covered by the NZSAR Awards:
- Operational Activity. This category is for nominations relating to a specific SAR operation(s) that have occurred during the year.
- Support Activity. This category is for nominations that do not relate to specific SAR operation(s) but to the wider range of SAR related activities (for example training, prevention, and long service).
