2026 Gallagher Glow Getters Award

GALLAGHER GLOW GETTERS AWARD

Industry-Based Primary Category
ENTER YOUR TEAM FOR THE GALLAGHER GLOW GETTERS AWARD

All businesses entering the Stella Awards will need to enter an Industry-Based Primary Category.

This category is for the high-grade Health & Beauty heroes in the Taupō district. This could be brick and mortar or online and providing anything from herbal remedies to cosmetics; or you could represent a fitness centre, a hair salon or a skin clinic.

Every business has a story to tell. Stella Awards exists to celebrate the businesses in our district that are telling theirs exceptionally well — through the experiences they create, the customers they delight, and the community they help to shape.

At the heart of this awards programme is one central question: how are you delivering an outstanding customer experience from end to end?

We're not just looking for what you do — we want to know how and why you do it, and what difference it has made. The best answers will be specific, reflective, and honest.

This is your opportunity to show Taupō what you're made of. Tell us your story.

In addition to this category, you are welcome to also apply for a maximum of 2 Specialty Categories.
