The Great Western Awards began with a simple belief: that extraordinary individuals, businesses, and communities are achieving incredible things all around us every day.
Drawing on years of regional awards experience, we are launching this brand-new empowerment machine to celebrate the collective spirit that drives us forward.
When nominations open later in 2026, we expect an influx of entries across twenty categories spanning business, community, life, and people.
Premier commercial honors like The Small Business of the Year Award and The Entrepreneur of the Year Award will showcase our local economy’s fierce talent, while the highly anticipated The Sustainable Business of the Year Award will spotlight forward-thinking leaders championing eco-friendly practices.
