The finalists for the 2023 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards have been announced, with 57 female entrepreneurs being recognised across a number of different categories.
Now in its second consecutive year, the 2023 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards features more than 65 categories, judged by an independent panel of representatives who have relevant experience or an understanding of the operations of small business.
Among this year’s most competitive categories, Beauty Product, Beauty Services, Brows & Lashes and Cosmetic Specialist are proving among the most challenging categories to judge, says Steve Loe, Awards Founder and Managing Director of Precedent Productions, which coordinates the Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards.
“The quantity and quality of entrants in the Beauty categories in particular is truly remarkable and so the ultimate selection of this year’s finalists has by no means been an easy feat.
“When the Champion Judges evaluate entries, they consider all aspects of a small business: its strategies, innovative initiatives, customer service, vision, growth, charitable and community support – to name but some of the judging criteria.
“We’re simply blown-away by the incredibly high calibre of Australia’s female-led small businesses in the Beauty sector and – while it’s certainly a welcome challenge – the next round of judging is bound to be even more challenging, as we continue to nut-through the impressive finalists to reach one category winner,” adds Mr Loe.
