2022 Shoalhaven Business Awards
Fri 20 May 2022
The Shoalhaven Business Awards is the region’s most anticipated annual business event, and this year it is even more so after everything that businesses have faced over the past 12 months.
Just by entering the Awards you are giving yourself the opportunity to review your business operations, reconnect with your vision and strategy, and measure performance against objectives. Many entrants see the Awards as a time for forced self-assessment, which helps keep them accountable to their goals.
You are also giving yourself the opportunity to represent the Shoalhaven in the Illawarra Business Awards, and as we have seen in the past, the State Awards (if you enter an aligned category).
- Click here to download the awards handbook which gives you all the information you need including all the category questions.
- To enter the awards you can access the ONLINE PORTAL
The
online portal allows you to save your entry details as you go so you have almost 6 weeks to perfect your entry. And you can enter more than one category!
The Chamber has 15 awards this year which you can directly enter. There will also be a bonus award which is for “Inclusion”. This will be eligible for finalists in a company category. The question will be asked at the interview stage and is not-compulsory. And there is also our hotly contested Business of the Year award which is awarded by our judges from the finalists.
