"We have so many excellent and dynamic businesses in our local community and the awards are an ideal way to shine a light on our small business operators who go above and beyond even through the difficult times," Mr Sweeney said.

"With a rigorous judging process in place, we can expect strong competition in each of the 29 categories to determine who will be crowned as the 2023 winners."

The judges themselves have come from a variety of fields, with a range of experiences.

A minimum of two judges have been assigned to each award category.

"It is vitally important that all judges remain anonymous to ensure an impartial and transparent outcome," Mr Sweeney said.

"All businesses who receive a nomination will be contacted by Chamber staff via phone and receive an email with instructions on how to accept," said Mr Sweeney.
