The Melbourne Awards is a platform in which we aim to acknowledge and highlight the inspirational stories of passionate Melburnians who help shape our city. Providing recognition for these outstanding achievements helps inspire and challenge others in creating a better future for Melbourne whilst giving exposure to the organisations and individuals who work tirelessly for the benefit of the city.
The Melbourne Awards is free to enter and provides entrants with the opportunity for:
- Recognition from industry experts and peers.
- Publicity and media exposure to promote a cause or project.
- Networking opportunities to establish relationships with senior business leaders in Melbourne.
- Valuable feedback and advice from industry experts.
- The opportunity to review project objectives and ambitions whilst reflecting on your organisations achievements.
- A competitive edge (finalists and winners are able to use the official 2012 Melbourne Awards Finalist or Winner logo in their own marketing collateral).
- Recognition and reward for employees. Winning an award is a great motivator and can boost team morale.
‘By entering the awards you get a great opportunity to present your business and articulate the benefits of your company. This focus can significantly help in building your brand and help you to reflect on why you have been successful’

Melbourne Awards Judge
'The awards encouraged us to critically assess the work done in environmental sustainability over recent years, measure our results and set clear, ambitious goals.. The process of meeting with the panel and being challenged on the criteria was a positive and constructive one.
'Being formally recognised as a winner in the prestigious Melbourne Awards has validated our considerable efforts and further encouraged us to drive continuous improvement in environmental sustainability.'
