The Mount Gambier Chamber of Commerce and Women In Business and Regional Development are working collaboratively to bring the 2023 Business Awards to the community.

Close to the hearts of both organisations is the mission to champion and celebrate local businesses and to build the strength and profile of the community on a local, state and national level.

The Business Awards 2023 is an awards program that recognises the significant contributions made by the local business community to the region’s culture, as well as social and economic growth.

For the business community it is a chance to celebrate one another’s achievements, while for the wider community it is an opportunity to acknowledge the courageous, creative and purpose-led business owners who, collectively, continue to transform the city.

Nominations for the 2023 business awards were officially opened last week, and nominations have already flooded in for many of the award categories.

People can nominate another business or individual, or nominate their business or self, with the award categories covering both businesses and individuals.

Nominations will close on July 14 and an awards gala will be held on August 18 at The Barn.
