Award Criteria

The Business of the Year Award is the highest honour of the program, awarded to the standout winner from all category award recipients. This prestigious award recognises a business that has demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, growth, resilience, and impact, while setting the benchmark for excellence within the business community and inspiring others through outstanding achievement.

You don’t need to enter this category. Relevant category winners are automatically considered for Business of the Year.

Entry Eligibility

To be eligible, entrants must operate as a sole trader, partnership, or registered business located in or servicing the MidCoast, NSW region. Some award categories may also require entrants to be members of a local business chamber.

Terms and Conditions of Entry

All entries must be submitted online and include all required information before the closing date. The Awards Committee reserves the right to deem any entry ineligible if it is incomplete, misleading, or found to contain false information. By submitting your application, winners consent to their entry being forwarded to the Mid North Coast Regional Business Awards for the corresponding category, where they may compete against multiple local winners due to category overlap.

All awards are judged by an independent panel of professionals from outside the region, and their decision is final. Entrants consent to being contacted by The Organiser by phone or email if further information is required.

Confidentiality

All information provided in your entry will be used solely for the judging process and treated as commercial-in-confidence. If you are selected as a finalist, non-financial information such as your business name, logo, website, and images may be used for promotional purposes.

Waiver

The MidCoast Business Awards Committee and Forster Tuncurry Business Chamber (“The Organiser”) have no influence over the judging process. All eligible entries are submitted for independent assessment, and The Organiser accepts no responsibility for the content or outcome of any application.
