Commerce North West on the hunt for business leaders

The awards offer the opportunity to recognise resilience and celebrate businesses excellence across all categories and are open to businesses across North West Queensland.

You can nominate as many businesses, organisations or customer service superstars you feel are deserving, so nominate away but you must do it by Sunday.

You can make your nominations here.

Commerce North West president Emma Harman said the awards were a fantastic opportunity to showcase your success to both the public, business community and surrounding regions, and the completely confidential process was quick and easy.

"You can nominate your own business or someone else's, we want to encourage and celebrate all businesses in the region," Ms Harman said.

"The People's Choice award nominations will open later, all of the qualifying businesses will go in People's Choice."

The awards night will take place on Saturday, November 6 at the Buchanan Park Entertainment Centre and Jemena will be the major sponsor of the Northern Outback Business Awards for the third year in a row.

The theme of this year's awards is Strength Resilience and Growth.

Commerce North West said they had elected to represent these words along a botanical theme and the floral representations of these words are Wattle for resilience and Bottlebrush for strength.
