The Eden Chamber of Commerce’s biennial awards – previously known as the Excellence in Eden Business Awards – acknowledge and celebrate individuals, businesses and volunteers that enrich the Eden community through their efforts to provide the best services.

And because it’s a people’s choice award, that recognition is a clear indication of the community’s positive experiences as customers and clients.

Nominations for the awards open on Friday, December 15, with nomination forms printed in the Magnet through until the closing date of February 9.

Forms are to be filled in with the category you are nominating in and a brief explanation as to why.

Let your favourite store employee or local business know just how happy they make you feel!

Completed forms can be returned to Eden Newsagency, Eden Gas and Gear, or E2B Phone Repair.

You can enter as many nominations as you want and businesses and individuals can be nominated in more than one category, on separate forms.

The 2018 Eden Business and Community Awards are proudly supported by sponsors the Eden Magnet, Pentarch Forestry, John and Jan Aveyard, Regional Development Australia and Rex Airlines.

Winners will be announced at a gala event at the Eden Fishermen’s and Recreation Club on Saturday, February 24.
