Description
NZIPP Member Sponsorship Raffle
This raffle has been created as a way for NZIPP members to become part of the 2026 Iris Awards and Conference experience in a meaningful and accessible way.
Rather than traditional sponsorship packages, these raffle draws give members the opportunity to personally support and be visibly involved in specific parts of the event — whether as an individual photographer or under their business name.
Each winning ticket provides recognition during the event, on-screen branding opportunities, and the chance to directly contribute to the atmosphere and experience of the Iris Awards and Conference.
