Categories this year include outstanding young employee, outstanding young entrepreneur, outstanding business leader, start-up superstar, four categories of excellence in small business, excellence in business and local Chamber of Commerce.

Winners from each category will proceed to the Far South Coast Regional Business Awards, and will potentially go on to represent the region at the state level.

Eurobodalla business owners can learn more about the process of entering the awards at information sessions this month at Batemans Bay, Mogo, Moruya, Narooma and Tilba.

The information sessions will give details about the awards program, how to use the online entry portal, and tips for writing an award-winning submission.

Council’s Business Development Manager Sarah Cooper said the awards offered businesses a great opportunity to put a spotlight on all their hard work throughout the year.

“It’s a wonderful chance to be recognised locally via the People’s Choice Awards and potentially up to a NSW State level,” she said.
