Since 1966 the Performing Arts Competitions Association of New Zealand Inc. (PACANZ) has acted as the National Body for New Zealand’s Performing Arts Competition Societies.

The PACANZ Objectives are:

To be the representative national organisation for performing arts competition societies in New Zealand
To encourage, foster and promote the practice and appreciation of the performing arts in New Zealand

Our Member Societies operate competition festivals throughout New Zealand, with young people participating in one or sometimes several of the art forms offered.
