The Golden Crow Awards are back for 2023 with local business leaders gathering in Wagga last night (28 June) as the finalists were announced.
After an overwhelming response with a total of 88 entries across 13 categories, the 50 finalists were selected by a panel of judges, including industry experts and community leaders.
“The quality and competitiveness of this year’s submissions speak volumes about the innovation and resilience displayed by Wagga Wagga’s business sector,” said Wagga Business Chamber president Jennifer Hand.
Business manager Sally Manning agreed, adding that the event continues to grow after almost four decades.
“The Golden Crow Awards ceremony is the highlight of the Wagga business events calendar, with last year’s event witnessing a record-breaking attendance,” she said.
“This year’s celebration promises to be an unforgettable evening of celebration, networking, and showcasing the best of Wagga Wagga’s business community.”
The Optus 2023 Golden Crow Awards night will be held on Friday, 11 August, in a marquee alongside Wollundry Lagoon.
