2010 Awards – entries now open!

The 2010 Nursery & Garden Industry (NGI) Awards are now open and entry forms are coming in thick and fast. You have until July 26 to enter your business, make sure you don’t miss out!

For 2010, the Awards have been simplified to make entering easier for you. The written submission criteria have been substantially shortened, enabling a more concise appraisal for your business.

By entering the NGI Awards you are inspiring others to strive for excellence and are making a strong statement about your organisation’s commitment to the professionalism of the industry.

NGIA National Marketing & Communications Manager Jacqui Gibbs says there are many benefits to entering the NGI Awards. "Participating is a team effort; getting staff involved will mean improved staff morale and a more successful business.

"Also, participants will receive invaluable information from judges’ feedback which will provide the opportunity for you to analyse where you are at as a business, where you want to go and what you need to do to get there," Jacqui says.

The National Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner in 2010 in conjunction with the NGI National Conference in Darwin. National Winners will receive a trophy, marketing support materials and $1000 towards training through their State Nursery & Garden Industry Association.
