The Lifestyle Awards

The Lifestyle Awards is a curated shortlist of the Remix community’s favourite people, places and products. In times of uncertainty, there's an undeniable comfort in the daily rituals that bring us joy and finally heading back into a sense of normality after a rough couple of years. Whether it’s a skincare routine, pre-work pitstop at a local café or your most favourite new artist. Our awards seek to celebrate and support our local industries, as well as our most beloved brands.

The Categories

Hospitality & Cuisine

This category seeks to champion our remarkable hospitality industry. For a small country, our dining scene is on par with the world's best. The nominees in the cuisine category comprise restaurateurs and businesses who have made an outstanding contribution to our hospitality industry, as well as those who’ve turned adversity into an opportunity. From iconic institutions – bistros, bars and fine dining - to daring newcomers who’ve launched with a bang, our finalists are your port of call for every dining or drinking occasion.

Business

We've added a new category this year which supports the brands and businesses that are making a positive impact on the world by embracing diversity and inclusiveness in their product design and campaigns. These are the brands trailblazing the way for a better future.

Fashion

An opportunity to shine a spotlight on both local and international fashion brands that have made outstanding contributions to the fashion industry in New Zealand. This category honours and celebrates the emerging and established designers, brands, creatives and individuals who have had us on our knees, coveting their latest collections and timeless pieces.

Beauty

There's a reason analysts use lipstick as an economic barometer – there’s more power to beauty than meets the eye. Whether it’s a relaxing soak at the end of a tough day, the confidence-boosting power of a fresh blow wave or a 12-step skincare routine, whatever beauty looks like for you, the Best in Beauty segment of the Lifestyle Awards celebrates that.

Music and Entertainment

Of course, no Remix Awards would be complete without paying tribute to where it all started - music and celebrating our talented entertainers. From Artist and Band of the Year to Emerging Artists and Influencers who have had us logging in and engaging. We want to know the artists and creatives who encapsulate the Kiwi entertainment industry.
