2022 Sydney Metro Business Awards nominations now open

Business NSW awards celebrate entrepreneurship and business success and they’ve just opened entries for the 2022 Sydney Metro Business Awards. The awards recognise growth and entrepreneurship and celebrate business success from across NSW in 11 different regions.

Entries are now open for businesses in the Sydney Metro area until 12 September. The Sydney Metro area is defined by Business NSW as Eastern Suburbs, Sutherland Shire and North Sydney.

Nominations are also currently still open for the awards in Northern Rivers, New England North West, Murry-Riverina, Central Coast, Far South Coast. Entries have closed for Western NSW, Hunter, Illawarra, Western Sydney (which includes Western Sydney, Macarthur and Blue Mountains) and Mid North Coast.

There’s no fee to enter, but you do have to be a MyBusiness member. The membership is free and you can find out about joining here.

Diverse economy thrives through diverse people

Entering your Sydney Metro business provides an opportunity to reflect on your business goals, strategies and vision. You can pull out the key strategies that have shaped your success and share the insights that have driven the growth of your business.

The awards are also an excellent way to reward outstanding employees through categories like outstanding employee or young business leader.  Or pull focus to particular values that are important to your business, like diversity and inclusion, sustainability, innovation or community.

The Sydney Metro area is one of the most diverse economies in Australia. It contributes to the NSW economy through high-tech manufacturing, hospitality, tourism, health and professional services.
