For more than two decades, the Lord Mayor’s Business Awards have celebrated the people and ideas bringing Brisbane into the future.
This year marks 21 years of recognising our city’s exceptional business leaders.
These awards are all about ambition, resilience and innovation; all qualities that power Brisbane’s thriving business community.
We’re proud to shine a spotlight on leaders who are not only achieving great things but also shaping Brisbane into an even better place to live, work and invest.
As one of Australia’s fastest-growing cities, Brisbane is firmly on the global map as a dynamic and business-friendly destination.
Since launching in 2006, nearly 200 businesses - from bold startups to well-established organisations - have been recognised for their impact and contribution to the city.
If you’re part of a business making a difference, now’s the time to step forward. I encourage organisations of all sizes and across all industries to apply for the 2026 Lord Mayor’s Business Awards.
Join us in celebrating the people and ideas shaping Brisbane’s future.
