With the final judges casting their verdicts, trophies heading to the engravers, and tickets moving quickly, the 2025 Awards are drawing near.
After an extended second judging round caused by the Easter and Anzac Day public holidays, the remaining juries are convening this week to determine winners in key categories, among them Company and Business Leader of the Year.
The judges have had no shortage of work — the first round drew a record number of entries, while the second round saw nearly 100 shortlisted submissions to assess.
The awards ceremony will be held at the Plaza Ballroom in Melbourne on May 22, with MC Katie Wainhouse taking the stage to host the evening.
This year's after party moves to the Carlton Club, featuring DJ Matter (Meanwhile Recordings) along with a special guest set from DJ Gus.
Tickets are expected to sell out before the May 16 closing date, so secure yours now to avoid missing out.
New sponsors Skywatch, Kayf Industries and Cannabis Warehouse have also come on board this year, joining the existing group of partners whose support is gratefully acknowledged.
