When do entries open and close?
Entries for 2024 have closed. We will open them again in autumn next year. If you receive our weekly enews, or follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn, you won't miss the announcement!
Winners of the 35th Nelson Pine Industries Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Business Awards will be announced at a gala dinner held on Friday 28 February 2025. Tickets will be on sale here: www.commerce.org.nz/events.
Do I need to be a member of Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce to enter?
No, the Chamber welcomes entries from all businesses in the region regardless of their membership status.
How much time will it take to put my entry together?
If you already have business and marketing plans, you’ll be able to use a lot of the information in those documents. If you do not have these documents, this is a great opportunity to get all the information in your head on to paper. We advise you do allow plenty of time to get your entry together. You are welcome to get in touch with us if you would like contact details for people who could assist you with your entries.
Can a not-for-profit business enter?
Yes. Explain how your funding is obtained, the criteria to which your charter or constitution requires you to operate, challenges you face in meeting your goals and objectives while retaining your special not-for-profit status. In 2018 we introduced a category specifically for programmes, projects, campaigns or an overall business that has had, or continues to have a positive impact on the Nelson Tasman community in a way that inspires others and makes a difference.
