Find Business Awards That Actually Fit - Without the Overwhelm

A clear, curated directory built for Australian small & solo business owners

✨ Bonus Included: 50 Power Phrases to Strengthen Your Nomination

You're Not Behind. You're Just Missing the Right Support.

I created the Australian Business Awards Directory because I saw too many brilliant business owners putting awards in the “too hard” basket.

As someone who understands the mental load of running a business — especially for ND and solo founders — I wanted to make it easier to take that first step toward recognition.

No overwhelm. No fluff. Just clarity, structure, and confidence-building tools designed with your brain in mind.

This free resource is a small part of my bigger mission:
to make award opportunities accessible, encouraging, and doable.

I used to waste hours googling for legit business awards — most of the time I didn’t even know if I qualified. This directory changed everything. Now I know exactly where to apply, when to do it, and how to feel confident doing it.

Is this really free?

Yes — 100% free. Just enter your email and you’ll get instant access to the full Notion database and bonus resources. No catch, no spam.

I've never entered a business award before....is this for me?

Absolutely. This was created especially for first-time (and award-curious) small and solo business owners. No jargon, no overwhelm — just clear steps and tools to help you feel ready.

How often is the directory updated?

Monthly. New awards are added and old deadlines are removed or marked. You’ll always see the current status: open, upcoming, closed or rolling.

Not always. Many awards allow self-nomination, and the directory includes clear notes on eligibility and entry requirements so you know what’s what.
