Glassies

The annual Glass House Small Business Awards are comprised of a nomination period followed by a voting period. This means that a Business or Employee needs to be nominated between Friday 22nd March and the close of business on Monday 8th April to be included in the list of finalists for when the voting stage begins on Monday 15th April. A full list of finalists will be displayed on my website and voting will conclude at the close of business on Monday 13th May.

Just like previous years, there will be four regions – Montville Region, Maleny Region, Glasshouse Country and the Moreton Bay Region. The business and employee in each region with the most votes will pick up a Silver Glassie. The Bronze Glassie will be selected by the Chamber Presidents for true recognition by your peers. The coveted Gold Glassie will be selected by myself and the Chambers and go to one business and one employee from across the Glass House electorate.

The Gala Awards will be held on the night of Monday 27th May at Mooloolah Valley Country Club, where all nominated businesses and employees will be celebrated for their efforts in our region. More details about the event will be shared in the future. Glass House doesn’t have large shopping centres or central business districts. It’s our small ‘Mum-and-Dad’ business operators that are the lifeblood of our community so these awards have been deliberately designed to promote and recognise the efforts of our many small businesses and their employees and show our appreciation for their contribution to the wider community.
