WBA 2023
All finalist videos will be around 30sec, based on a 60-80 words script you supply for us to record a professional voiceover. We will produce the video for you and organise the voiceover recording from our end. If you choose to be filmed by us, the available filming period is between 25th September - 25th October 2023. We strongly recommend you book your filming session as soon as possible.
The Waikato Chamber of Commerce funds all videos for finalists as an added benefit, there is no cost to you as a finalist. You will receive a copy of the final video after the award evening for your own marketing use.

Please supply your script no later than Tuesday, 3rd October. The earlier, the better. We must have all scripts ready for voiceover recording. You can email it to me at [email protected].
