Are you a successful exporter? Applications are now open for the 2021 Australian Export Awards.

The Australian Export & Investment Awards are back for the 59th year to showcase a range of Aussie exporters. No matter how big or small your achievements, your level of export experience or your industry, this is your chance to tell your export story.

Each year, the Australian government honours and showcases extraordinary businesses to the export community, the nation and internationally. This is about more than just an award. It’s an opportunity to reflect on your business achievements, build your brand and raise your profile.

Applications are initially judged at the state and territory level, with winners automatically progressing as national finalists in their category.

Who should apply?

Australian businesses exporting their products and services overseas can apply within the 13 award categories. Full eligibility guidelines are available at exportawards.gov.au/Apply/Eligibility-guidelines.
