    Was a real pleasure interacting with this extremely professional festival. The communication was excellent and social media networking was wonderful. It was an honour to be selected for the NZWF and hope to be a award winner next time.

  • Maree Railton

    Though I couldn't make it to this year's festival in-person, the communication from NZ Web Fest was top notch. They sent not only winner-related information but also general information about the festival through their e-newsletter, which made me feel like part of the experience. Was also happy to see the NZWF Twitter page is proactive about interacting with entrants' Twitter feeds.
