The annual Lake Macquarie Business Excellence Awards acknowledge and support business accomplishments in Lake Macquarie City, recognise and highlight achievements, and ultimately encourage all businesses in the city to strive for excellence.

The awards are now open and with 13 categories to choose from, there is something for everyone. Your business and your staff deserve recognition so apply now – applications close 5pm Monday 19 May. 

A panel of expert judges carefully assess and score every application to select finalists for each category.
