NZ Body Art Awards 2010

Now in its fifth year, the NZ Body Art Awards celebrates the country’s prowess in the field of Body Art and unearths a new generation of talent within our country. It also looks to showcase the significant influence New Zealand has on Body Art across the globe.

On the 2nd of October the annual awards showcase will bring artists from up and down the country and from around the globe to the North Shore where the crème de crème are honoured, with such awards as “Air Brushed Body Art”, “SPFX Fantasy”, “Best Emerging Artist”, and the highest accolade of all the “Supreme Award” which is presented at the end of the night.

This year’s star studded event features a who’s who of personalities both in the world of Body Art and outside it; this year’s theme ‘Incredible India’ will be honoured with the presence of a glamorous MC, Indian top model, Bollywood superstar and former Miss India, Sindhura Gadde. Multi academy award winner Weta Workshop’s Richard Taylor has also been confirmed as part of the judging panel. “I am just so pleased that Mem has taken this on board and created such an inspiring and professional event which treats local artists with such respect,” says Taylor.

With 2010’s theme, “Incredible India”, chosen due to its colourful, inspiring imagery and fascinating cultural references, Kanan Deobhakta, New Zealand’s leading Odissi and teacher will be choreographing the awards along with participation from the New Zealand and Australian Indian and Dance community.

The NZ Body Art Awards is a testament to the drive and determination of Body Art creator and Executive Director Mem Bourke, who has single-handedly started and embedded Body Art as a real force in this country and has in part helped New Zealand’s film industry gain a competitive advantage internationally.

Celebrate the leaders in Body Art not only in the Southern Hemisphere but also from around the world, as the NZ Body Art Awards once again sets the benchmark in talent and continues to entice Hollywood to knock on our front door.
