Small business is a vital commodity in preserving Australian livelihood. It is important to recognise and reward the contribution of small businesses to both local communities in generating employment for millions of Australians, as well to the national economy. The Australian Small Business Champion Awards is one of the largest small business award programs in Australia. Offering a unique occasion to highlight Australia’s most outstanding small businesses, the awards encourage the development of small business through opportunity and recognition. We invite you to participate in this year’s awards. The awards comprise 36 industry specific award categories, as well as four across the board categories, including two for Young Business Champions, aged thirty years or under:
- Small Business Champion Entrepreneur
- Young Small Business Champion Entrepreneur
- Business Growth Champion
- Young Business Growth Champion
All finalists receive a variety of prizes and benefits, including a certificate and media exposure, plus an invitation to attend the final award ceremony. (ABN Member Edwina Griffin of FitWomen was a winner in 2009!) If your business would like to be considered for this years’ Australian Small Business Champions Awards, act now, as entries close Monday, October 18.
