Singleton Business Awards 2024 Highlights Video
Singleton Business Awards
For 38 years, Business Singleton has proudly celebrated the strength, innovation, and resilience of our local business community through the Singleton Business Awards.
In 2026, we are excited to deliver a revitalised Awards program, one that is firmly focused on Singleton and shaped from the feedback of our local businesses and business leaders.
Our business community plays a vital role in the economic and social wellbeing of our town. The Singleton Business Awards exist to recognise outstanding organisations and to celebrate individuals who have demonstrated excellence, leadership, and impact over the past 12 months.
2026 Awards
This year marks an important evolution for the Awards. In 2026, the program is proudly Singleton-focused, placing local achievement front and centre. Category winners will be recognised first and foremost for their success within our community. As part of their recognition, winners who wish to do so will be supported by Business Singleton should they choose to align with or submit to external award programs in the future, ensuring local success always comes first.
We are also excited to introduce refreshed categories, enhanced winner incentives, and a judging process led by experienced local business leaders who understand the unique strengths of Singleton. Winning an Award is now about more than a trophy, it’s about meaningful recognition, collaboration opportunities, and ongoing support.
We are pleased to continue valued initiatives such as the Milestone Business Awards, which honour long-standing commitment and contribution to our business community. Welcoming back the People’s Choice Award is also a community favourite that was missed in 2025 so now back by popular demand.
We encourage all entrants to carefully review the eligibility criteria and Terms & Conditions before completing their submission via the online portal.
