An opportunity to celebrate local business excellence!

We were thrilled to attend the launch of the 2026 Commerce Ballarat Business Excellence Awards last week, celebrating the local businesses that make our region shine.

From standout service to innovation, accessibility and sustainability, so many of our local tourism and hospitality businesses are doing exceptional work every day. These awards are a great opportunity to celebrate your wins, reflect on your progress, build credibility and exposure for your business.

Along with recognition, the awards also offer benefits for self-assessment, promotion and networking, with finalists and winners receiving strong media exposure and valuable advice from industry professionals.

Ready to shine? Nominations close Thursday 2 April. 
Nominate your business or another local business you think deserves to be recognised.
