AWARDS PARTNERSHIP
The Business Awards programs are designed not only to acknowledge outstanding businesses, but also to enable sponsors to
promote their products or services to their target market. Major & Support Sponsorships are available within each Awards program.
Both provide practical levels of exposure to your target market. The following sponsorship information is based on single program
sponsorship however, if your company wishes to discuss multiple programs, we invite you to discuss your needs directly with us.
JUDGING
Customers determine the success of a business. The judging
criteria is based solely on aspects of customer service.
• Business Appearance and Presentation
• Range of Products and/or Services
• Value for Money
• Service of Customers
Businesses are evaluated entirely from the perspective of a
customer. There are three stages to the judging process:
1. The Awards begin with the call for public nominations of
outstanding local businesses.
2. At the close of nominations, all coupons and online votes are
collated and those businesses receiving the greatest number
of votes in each category become fi nalists.
3. After the fi nalist businesses are decided, judging visits
commence. Each business is assessed by a panel of judges
who conduct their evaluations at separate visits. Judges
come from a variety of backgrounds and share the common
attribute of being everyday customers.
In most instances, businesses are evaluated anonymously to
ensure that judges receive the same treatment as any other
customer. In some categories of business however, this is not
possible. In those cases, impromptu interviews are conducted.

PRECEDENT PRODUCTIONS

national and localised business programs
and charity related programs including, the
Australian Garden Industry Awards, Hardware
Industry Awards, over twenty local Business

The synergy of inhouse development and

ways of bringing new programs or events
into the public spotlight and creating greater
opportunities for existing programs.
Selected winners form the basis of “Business
Sense”, the Sunday morning television program
on Channel Nine.
