Because the best opportunities are usually passed on via word of mouth, SNOBS’ gives you Word of Mouse. Spread the word for free with just a click of your mouse!
In this category we want the scoop on BUSINESS AWARDS; excellence awards, home-based business awards, women in business awards, regional awards. If there’s recognition just waiting to be given, we wanna know how to apply for that trophy! [But we'll compete just as enthusiastically for plaques, certificates, badges, honour rolls, engraved mementos... and tiaras].
If you know of any business awards being held in Australia, we ask you to share the details with SNOBS for three reasons:
1. To help promote the event, because awards are a great way to boost business profiles.
2. If nominations are still open, other businesses could enter too (depending on locality).
3. If you’re entering the awards, or you’ve been nominated, there’s a window of opportunity to promote yourself here too!
