Minister for Pacific Peoples Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga says

“The Prime Minister’s Pacific Youth Awards recognise and reward high-achieving young pacific New Zealanders who have the potential to make a big contribution to New Zealand.”
Awards are presented in a number of categories including leadership, business and enterprise, STEM and sports.
“There are many talented and gifted young pacific people in every award category and I encourage them to apply for these awards,” Mr Lotu-Iiga says.
