This year's awards are bigger than ever, with new categories and new sponsors to go along with them.
"Excellence in Sustainability", "Excellence in Micro Business", and "Local Family Business of the Year" are three shiny new categories, bringing the number of awards up for grabs to 12.
Ten of those awards are NSW Business Chamber awards, and the victors of those awards will head to the regional awards, and the winner from those awards will head to the state awards.
Last year, seven out of 12 Griffith businesses went on to snap up regional awards - a testament to the sheer volume of business acumen bubbling away in Griffith.
Aquna Murray Cod then went on to seize glory at the NSW Business Chamber competition, where they took out the Excellent in Innovation award.
