Back Yourself. Be Bold. Enter the 2025 Geelong Business Excellence Awards. 

  

As CEO of the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, I couldn’t be more excited to launch the 2025 Geelong Business Excellence Awards, our region’s most prestigious celebration of business brilliance. 

  

These awards are more than a trophy on the shelf; they’re a powerful opportunity for every business, big or small, to stand tall, reflect on your journey, tell your story, and get the recognition you deserve. 

  

The entry process itself is transformative. It helps you sharpen your strategy, celebrate your wins, and benchmark your success alongside the best in the region. 

  

Accompanying the prestigious accolades, this year’s awards are bigger than ever, with over $100,000 in prizes across categories thanks to our partners K Rock 95.5 & Bay 93.9, Gawk, The Times, and Deakin Business School. 

  

A huge thank you to LBW Business + Wealth Advisors, our major sponsor, whose continued support helps amplify the impact and prestige of the program. 

  

Whether you’re a seasoned contender or entering for the first time, we’ve got your back - including access to a free review service for first-time entrants to guide your submission. 

  

And don’t miss our info sessions for insider tips on putting your best foot forward and write a killer entry. 

  

The Geelong Business Excellence Awards shine a light on the ambition, innovation, and tenacity that drive our economy. So, this is your moment. 

  

Back yourself. Enter the awards. Inspire your team. And show Geelong what greatness looks like.
