The Mornington Peninsula Business Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding achievement across our local business community. The Awards recognise businesses that go above and beyond industry standards and play a key role in promoting excellence, innovation, professionalism, and collaboration.
Participating in the awards program gives your business the chance to be recognised by industry, the community and your customers for its excellence and ongoing commitment to improvement. It also provides a valuable opportunity to critically review your operations—highlighting key improvements, realigning goals and values, and assessing your future direction.
Businesses can apply for one of 3 categories:
Local Community Connection – This category recognises businesses strengthening the local community through partnerships, events, and social contributions.
Customer Experience – This category celebrates businesses prioritising exceptional customer care and creating memorable, positive client experiences.
Environmental Sustainability – This category recognises businesses leading in environmental stewardship through sustainable practices benefiting the Mornington Peninsula.
For each category, 3 awards will be presented, one to the leading business of each size: micro (1-2 staff), small (3-10 staff), and medium-large (11+ staff)
Each question now includes expanded tips, along with links to relevant online resources to support your application. Several Information Sessions are also available to help you better understand the awards process, explore the categories, and learn how to prepare a strong submission. Click the link below to book.
Each question will be assessed based on four key aspects: how well it addresses the criteria, the evidence provided, the level of innovation demonstrated, and the achievement of excellence.
Changes to the assessment process mean each application will now receive individual feedback. This will help businesses identify both areas of excellence and opportunities for improvement.
