Business Awards of Distinction This year, the judging process received 194 nominations sent in by the general public, local businesses and the community. From the nominations received, we asked those nominees to complete a nomination package in order to be considered a ‘qualified’ nominee. Each nomination package was based on the specific award criteria and category that the nominee had been nominated in. The ‘qualified’ nominees who successfully completed their nomination package, then moved forward through the judging process. A diverse group of local business leaders, former winners of awards and community leaders made up the independent judging committee. Each judge reviewed the nominations across all award categories and scored each nomination independently on each of the award criteria. It was a very rigorous review and judging process to arrive at the highest scored nomination in each award category. It’s because of this formal nomination process and the intensive judging and review of nominations received that has ensured high standards throughout leading to the announcement of the 2016 award recipients.

We would like to take a moment to thank the members of this year’s judging committee for all their hard work and time.
