The Lord Mayor’s Business Awards have become an unmissable part of Brisbane’s business calendar over the past 18 years.

From new and exciting start-ups to established businesses, the Awards have honoured 182 businesses and businesspeople making a difference in Brisbane across a diverse range of industries.

In many respects, Brisbane is already Australia’s most business-friendly city. The Lord Mayor’s Business Awards acknowledge how our talented business community is driving our city’s prosperity, talent, culture and lifestyle.

In 2025, we are once again inviting commercial, industrial and social enterprise leaders across the city to put themselves and their businesses forward for recognition. Being named a finalist or a winner can lead to a whole new level of opportunity and success.

Applications open in May.
