Hello, my love­lies! For the fifth year in a row, it’s time for The Annu­al Wel­ling­tonista Awards (#TAWA5). This post is your guide to everything TAWA-related. Time to get your vote on since VOTING IS NOW OPEN!

We’ll say it again – Vot­ing is NOW OPEN, (click through to vote) and will run until Decem­ber 1. You only get to vote once, so we sug­gest that you check out all our nom­in­a­tions before you vote so that you know you’re mak­ing the right decisions.

The awards night itself will be held at Mighty Mighty on Decem­ber 3, from 6.30pm. It will be a super fun night, we’ll have heaps of prizes to give away, the Amaz­ing Trav­el­ling Pho­to­booth will be there for your pho­to­graph­ic­al pleas­ure, and after­wards there will be a fun DJ and we’ll all party until the early morn­ing light creeps in. We hope you’ll come along to pay trib­ute to all the amaz­ing people who make Wel­ling­ton as awe­some as it is.
