The 2025 Windows and Glass Association of New Zealand (WGANZ) Awards marked another milestone for the aluminium joinery and glass industry. This annual event offers a rare opportunity for industry professionals to step away from the worksite, trade in their steel caps for polished shoes, and enjoy a well-deserved evening of recognition and celebration.

The WGANZ Awards night honours the architectural innovation and design excellence that shape the look and function of our homes and commercial buildings across Aotearoa.

The Association presents five Regional Design Awards and five National Design Awards, covering the categories of Art & Heritage, Commercial, Residential, Sustainability, and Innovation.

BCITO is proud to partner with the Windows & Glass Association to support industry development. The winners received generous travel sponsorships to attend the event, along with impressive cash prizes form WGANZ: $500 for Most Promising Apprentice entries and $1,000 for Apprentice of the Year entries.

This year’s submissions stood out for their thoughtfulness and professionalism, with compelling project presentations and interviews that offered meaningful insight into each candidate’s journey and achievements.

A special thank you to GGI for coming on board to deliver a preparation training session for our finalists—your support made a real difference.
