Nominations are officially open for the 2024 edition of the Telstra Best of Business Awards.
Following the success of last year’s edition which saw more than 22,000 businesses nominated nationwide, the awards return as part of Telstra’s long-standing commitment to recognising the meaningful contributions of Australia’s outstanding organisations and business leaders.
Dubbed as Australia’s largest celebration of small and medium-sized businesses, the Telstra Best of Business Awards has been celebrating the innovation and creativity of the country’s small businesses for over 30 years as they have driven the country’s economic, social, and cultural prosperity while inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs.
In return, those who have won the awards over the years have been provided with invaluable opportunities to increase sales, expand their business and become household names.
“Small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of our country’s economy, and the heart of countless local communities across Australia,” Amanda Hutton, Group Executive at Telstra Business, said. “The Telstra Best of Business Awards marks an important opportunity for us to pause and celebrate these incredible businesses while sharing their stories and achievements, at a national level.”
The awards are comprised of seven categories which are celebrated at a state and national level. An overall Business of the Year will also be crowned as part of the National Awards. The categories are:
- Accelerating Women
- Building Communities
- Championing Health
- Embracing Innovation
- Indigenous Excellence
- Outstanding Growth
- Promoting Sustainability.
“I’m constantly blown away by the astonishing innovation and diversity of Australia’s small business community, and couldn’t be more excited to meet, celebrate and champion this year’s nominees,” Hutton said.
All businesses under 200 employees are invited to nominate and enter across the seven categories in the Telstra Best of Business Awards website.
