The Blackwood Chamber Business Excellence Awards celebrate the hard work, innovation, and dedication of local businesses across the Blackwood region. Now in their inaugural year, these awards are your chance to recognise the businesses that make our community thrive.
The awards are open to all businesses operating in the Bridgetown–Greenbushes region and surrounding areas — you don't need to be a Chamber member to be nominated or to vote.
Community members nominate and vote for their favourite businesses in one simple step. You can vote in as many categories as you like — one vote per category per person. Voting is verified via email to ensure fairness.
All votes are tallied. Only verified votes count toward the final results.
The top three nominees in each category are announced as finalists. Finalists are selected based on the number of verified votes received.
Winners are announced at the official Awards Night gala. Details of the event including venue, time, dress code, and ticket information will be announced closer to the date.

Voter prizes: Local voucher prizes will be offered to voters as a thank-you for participating.
This is a fully community-voted awards program — there are no judges. The business with the highest number of valid votes in each category wins. The top three nominees in each category are announced as finalists prior to Awards Night.
Votes are verified via email to ensure one vote per person per category. Entry is free, and owners, staff, and customers are all encouraged to participate. The Chamber reserves the right to investigate any suspicious voting activity to maintain the integrity of the awards.
