Applications open for Bass Coast Business Awards 2024 now open to highlight the achievements of local businesses
Entries are now open for the esteemed 2024 Bass Coast Business Awards, celebrating the achievements of local businesses in innovation, customer service, sustainability, and community involvement.
Bass Coast Shire Council is excited to announce that entries are now open for the highly anticipated 2024 Bass Coast Business Awards. This annual event, now in its 17th year, celebrates the exceptional achievements of businesses within the Bass Coast community and provides a platform for recognition and networking.
This year will mark the 17th annual Bass Coast Business Awards, with two distinct award types: Judged Awards and People's Choice Awards, each with its own unique selection process
Business excellence recognition
The Bass Coast Business Awards continue to showcase the diverse talents and contributions of local businesses. The awards are divided into two categories:
Judged Categories
These categories recognise businesses that excel in various aspects, including innovation, customer service, sustainability, and community involvement. A panel of judges will evaluate the entries and select winners based on predetermined criteria.
People's Choice Awards
These awards allow the community to participate by voting for their favourite businesses. This is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to engage with their customers and build strong relationships within the community.
Mayor's award encouragement
Mayor, Cr Le Serve expressed her enthusiasm for this year's awards, saying, "the Bass Coast Business Awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our local business community. We encourage all businesses in Bass Coast to participate and showcase their achievements".
"There are also some real economic and promotional benefits for businesses that get involved and I encourage everyone to support the 2024 Awards and again make the Awards night a highlight of the year," Cr Le Serve said.
Enhancing business potential
Previous entrants have said the Awards process gives them a chance to assess and improve on their business operations, and entering this year could be the first step to even greater success for your business.
Just by going through the Awards process, you get the opportunity to stand back and reflect on your businesses successes and challenges and identify potential opportunities for the future.
Finalists will be announced in July and the Gala dinner will be held in August. For more information, visit 2024 Bass Coast Business Awards website.
