About the Q Awards
The design agency behind the Q Awards
The Q Awards were created by Quentosity, a Tauranga based digital consultancy that is part of The Quentosity Group.
Initially, the idea behind the awards was to help nurture the next generation of graphic designers. The scope of the awards grew however to include other creative disciplines such as photography, digital, moving image, and architecture.
Schools across Tauranga, Whakatāne and the Western Bay of Plenty were invited to participate, whilst businesses provided support so that significant prizes could be awarded. We’re thrilled to say that in the first two years of the Q Awards, more than 120 entries have been submitted by 16 to 18-year-olds.
Now in its third year, the Q Awards continue to go from strength to strength, thanks to the tremendous support of local schools, the enthusiasm of students, and the ongoing backing of The Quentosity Group and other key supporters.
Our hope is that the Q Awards will inspire young people to pursue their creative goals, and give them an insight into the standard of work required in a commercial setting.
