Award categories and criteria

All awards will be assessed against specific criteria by our independent judging panel. Businesses can be nominated for more than one category, and a separate submission will be required for each category they choose to enter.

Importantly, a business only needs to be nominated once to be eligible.

Each nominated business will be contacted by the Narromine Business Collective and provided with a submission pack (from 18 May 2026). This pack will outline the categories they are eligible for and the information required.

From there, businesses can choose which categories they would like to proceed with and submit a separate entry for each.

For full timing details, please refer to the Key Dates on the Business Awards page.
