2018 Shoalhaven Business Awards
Awards Gala, Friday 31st August, Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre
The Shoalhaven Business Awards is the region’s most anticipated annual business event.
Just by entering the Awards you are giving yourself the opportunity to review your business operations, reconnect with your vision and strategy, and measure performance against objectives. Many entrants see the Awards as a time for forced self-assessment, which helps keep them accountable to their goals.
You are also giving yourself the opportunity to represent the Shoalhaven in the Illawarra Business Awards, and as we have seen in the past, the State Awards (if you enter an aligned category).

2018 Award Gala photos
The Awards Gala evening was held on Friday 31st August at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre.
The pinnacle of the business year, the evening provided unrivaled networking opportunities, the chance to share remarkable stories, and ongoing brand exposure to the entire region.
The theme for this year’s awards was ‘Connect’, we wanted to run the theme throughout the whole event. Whether it was the entertainment that you heard, the flowers that you saw, the drinks that you drank or the cheese that you ate, we were all about sourcing and celebrating local!
With a ‘less is more’ approach, the room looked stunning. With the aim of creating a more intimate setting in such a large space, CMG Audio Visual really upped the anti again this year. The beautiful flowers, by sponsor Pia + Jade, added a sense of elegance and calmness to the room.
