With just a few weeks until entries for this year’s 2024 Moreton Bay Business & Innovation Awards close, organisers are calling on the community to nominate young achievers for a new category.

The Award for Young Achiever of the Year honours exceptional individuals aged 18 to 30 years with accomplishments in fields including business, volunteering, social enterprise, and charity/fundraising.

It recognises young professionals who have demonstrated exemplary leadership, innovation, and impact early in their careers.

Judges will consider factors such as leadership skills, tangible accomplishments, and the nominee's dedication to making a meaningful difference.
