The Cabonne Daroo Business Awards are returning in 2021 for their 21st birthday!
The quality and diversity of businesses in the Cabonne shire will be showcased by the 2021 Cabonne Daroo Business Awards which were launched at the Cabonne Council chambers on Tuesday, 25 May.
Acknowledged as one of the major events on the regional business calendar and a blueprint for business awards in rural Australia, the Daroo Business Awards recognise the achievements and contributions of Cabonne businesses and their employees.
“The awards, which originated in the year 2000, have always strived to acknowledge businesses and organisations that demonstrate a commitment to excellence in service or management,” Cabonne Mayor Kevin Beatty said.
“The importance of the community’s voice is highlighted by the awards offering a people’s choice format to decide the award winners in most categories,” he said.
The coveted Best Business in Cabonne and 16 other category winners will be announced at a gala dinner in Canowindra on Friday, 5 November.
“The Daroo Awards recognise local businesses that have overcome adversity, particularly given the ongoing COVID-19 pan-demic,” Mayor Beatty said.
Nominations are now open and close on 30 June. This year nominations will be collected online, with forms available on the Daroo Business Award page on Cabonne Council’s website: www.cabonne.nsw.gov.au/2021-Daroo-Business-Awards
The Daroo Award Committee encourages clients and customers to nominate Cabonne businesses they believe are worthy of recognition. Once all nominations are received, finalists will be determined in each category and an online voting process will commence in August.
