Awards are open for business

Entries are open for the Redcliffe Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s (RPCC) first Business Awards since 2000.

The awards aim to shine a light on businesses in the area within six different categories.

Nominations are open until August 17, and individuals can nominate any business in Redcliffe or the surrounding suburbs, including sole traders, recognised business partners and legally constituted businesses.

You can nominate in categories such as retail, small/home business, industry, customer service, community service and new business.

Organiser and RPCC committee member Ken Dunn says the chamber’s primary focus is recognition.

“The chamber is basically here to promote local business. We’re very focused on that,” he says.

“The principal purpose of the business awards is to recognise businesses that excel in their respective craft.

“The winners will receive promotion through the awards dinner and on social media.”

There will be three respected leaders from the community on the judging panel, with category finalists to be announced before the end of September.

The awards dinner will take place at The Komo on November 2 and will be a ticketed event.
