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. All draws are exclusive to current NZIPP members. What’s Included Depending on the draw, winners may receive: Naming recognition for a category, event, or activation Logo placement on venue screens The option to provide a 30-second promotional video Verbal acknowledgement during live judging or conference sessions Opportunities to present awards or open events If a video is not supplied, NZIPP can instead display your logo or branding graphic.
