We are delighted to announce that nominations are now open for The Margaret River Region 2014 Business Awards. The awards are designed to recognise business excellence and the outstanding contribution made by those businesses and individuals whose business and tourism services set a high standard throughout the Margaret River Region.
The 2014 collaboration between Margaret River Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MRCCI) and the Augusta Margaret River Tourism Association (AMRTA) is an exciting venture that aims to deliver value to existing members by offering a credible industry development process.
The partnership sees an introduction of new categories, judging criteria and site visits. The review of the category criteria encourages all businesses to be scored against the Western Australia Regional Business Award (WARSBA) criteria whereby 6 category winners will be supported to enter their business at the regional level in September 2014.
