GOLD sponsors 2026

Mataura licensing trust

The Mataura Licensing Trust is privileged to be bestowed with the naming rights for the 38th MLT Hokonui Fashion Awards 2026 and to continue our long association with this iconic Gore event.

The Trust distributes all profits back to the local community by way of investment into high quality services and much needed facilities, and through financial support of community networks, sports clubs, music events, senior citizens, educational grants and a focus on well-being.

We help people and organisations by investing in local community projects where it is most needed and where it will make the most impact. We are locals supporting locals.
