At Commonwealth Bank we know the importance of small businesses, and that's why we're proud sponsors of this year's Small Business Champion Awards.

About the Awards
The Small Business Champion Awards is a program that's all about recognising and celebrating the achievements of small businesses. It acknowledges your contribution to the local community, and the Australian economy.

It's also a great opportunity to gain more publicity for your business and widen your network of professional colleagues. Plus you can learn what other local businesses are doing and discover new business opportunities.

How does it work?
Entries have been judged by a panel of experts in each state or territory, and the finalists then invited to attend the state or territory presentation evening. Each of the winners at state level will then be automatically nominated for the national Awards, which will culminate in a fantastic gala evening in Sydney during November.

Entries closed 15 July 2008. Follow the link opposite to see this year's winners
