Business Excellence Awards
2025 Edition
Ready to step into the spotlight? Submitting your nomination for the Business Excellence Awards is simple—just make sure you’re a Chamber member in good standing, choose the right category, prepare your evidence against the published criteria, and complete the online form during the nomination window (1 September–15 October).
Who can apply
Nominations are open to current Chamber members in good standing. Both self-nominations and third-party nominations are welcomed, so you can put your own business forward—or champion a company you admire.
How to submit
Complete the online nomination form during the official nomination period (1 September–1 October). Entries are evaluated by a panel of internal and external judges against the published criteria, with scoring weighted by category. Shortlisted finalists may proceed to additional stages as outlined by the Chamber.
Why participate
Recognition isn’t just a trophy moment—it’s a business asset. A nomination showcases your team’s impact, elevates your brand with peers and customers, and connects you with leaders across the Cayman Islands. Strong entries use clear results, stats, and testimonials to tell a compelling story of excellence.
What to prepare
Match your submission to the selection criteria for your chosen award and gather concise proof. You’ll be asked for a short business description, key achievements, years in business, confirmation of Chamber membership, contact details, your company logo, and 3–5 images to help judges understand your impact. Use data and testimonials wherever possible.
