The National Excellence Awards acknowledges the achievements across the breadth of the electrical contracting industry and showcase the outstanding work and excellence of individuals and businesses in Australia.
Electrical contractors and their teams from all across the country are eligible to participate in every award category except for one. The exclusive category of Master Electrician of the Year is specifically reserved for both Master Electricians and their staff members.
We encourage you to explore the ten different categories listed below and consider the nominations you can make.
Multiple category submissions are encouraged. If you would like to nominate for more than one category, please click on the ‘+ New Application‘ icon when completing the submission form.
All electrical contractors and relevant staff can enter the awards*. It’s a wonderful way for you and/or your business and staff to be recognised and for the industry to celebrate your achievements.
To get started, simply create a login via our event registration form, available here. If you already have an account from a previous year, you can easily log in using your original password.
Before submitting your nomination, make sure you have obtained your client’s permission to share project information and images. This will greatly support your nomination in the Excellence Awards.
Take some time to review the submission questions. It’s a good idea to gather all the necessary information, project details, and images beforehand. For larger categories, you can even save your progress and return to it later. But we highly recommend doing some initial work upfront to make the process smoother.
Now’s the time to get cracking with your submission! The entry process is straightforward and involves answering a series of questions and uploading supporting documentation. The time required to complete it varies, ranging anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the category. We know you can do it!
Once you’re satisfied with your nomination, simply submit it. Good luck!
Depending on the category, the next exciting phase of the process may involve a skills challenge (for Apprentice and Electrician categories) or an official judging panel interview with industry experts. Finalists will then be announced in July!
