The awards – Australia’s longest-running event dedicated to SMEs – recognise the unsung heroes of our nation’s businesses and their leaders, as employers, innovators and a source of excellence within their respective industry.

This year, there are 28 awards up for grabs, including the coveted Business of the Year Award.

In addition to the publicity and marketing power that comes from being recognised as among the best of the best, Qantas Business Rewards is showing its support for the SME community by providing prizes to all finalists and winners of the night.

Submissions close today, so don’t hesitate to get your business nominated.

Finalists will be announced in mid-September, with the winners unveiled at a black-tie gala dinner at The Westin Sydney on Friday, 10 November.
