Ashburton District business awards deadline approaching
Mid Canterbury retailers and business people wanting to be part of the Ashburton District’s ANZ Business of the Year Awards are being reminded that entries close next week, on Tuesday 30 November.
The awards have six categories, plus an overall supreme winner, as well as awards for a future business leader and the people’s choice for retail.
Ashburton District Council is partnering with ANZ and Ri Ra Events to present the awards and the winners will be announced in February 2022.
Council Community Services Group Manager Steve Fabish said businesses thinking about entering still had time to do so.
“There are some supporting documents that also need to accompany entries, but they are not onerous and are indeed a good chance to reflect on what has been achieved, despite the obvious challenges that covid presented.
“These awards are really a way to celebrate everything that is great about our district and the smart businesses that we have operating here.”
Award categories are primary industries, export, tourism, manufacturing, not-for-profit and technology and innovation. There will also be a supreme winner.
Category finalists will be announced in December and the winners revealed at a gala event on February 18, covid permitting.
Eleven businesses are currently doing battle for the People’s Choice Award for retail, details of the businesses and their voting codes can be found on the website businessoftheyear.nz. Voting for the People’s Choice Award also ends on 30 November.
