2026 Amplify Solo Superstar Award

AMPLIFY SOLO SUPERSTAR AWARD

Specialty Category - Sole Trader Award
ENTER YOURSELF FOR THE AMPLIFY SOLO SUPERSTAR AWARD

*You must enter an Industry-based category to be eligible for the Solo Superstar award.

Running a business solo is one of the most demanding and rewarding things a person can do. As a sole trader you are the strategist, the marketer, the operator, the customer service team, and the visionary — all at once.

The Amplify Solo Superstar category celebrates the Sole-Traders building a presence in a competitive market on their own terms and with limited resources, using their creativity, savvy, and self-belief. The most successful amongst you aren't just great at what you do today — you also have one eye firmly on tomorrow.

Entry for this award is open to any sole trader operating in the Taupō district, including Tūrangi and Mangakino areas. Businesses can enter a maximum of 2 supplementary categories, in addition to being entered into their industry category.

All applicants must complete the online form below by 20 July.
