2. Specific
Awards

food, accommodation, travel and tourism or
entertainment)
Large
Enterprise >R10 million turnover per
annum
Medium Enterprise >R3 million to R10
million turnover per annum
Small Enterprise < R3 million
turnover per annum
Franchisee
Franchised business will compete for this award,
irrespective of the size of the organisation. The
focus of the evaluation will be on the principles of
business and not on the popularity of the brand
name.
Entrepreneur
This award will typically focus on the SMME sector
in the community. Business established more than 24
months prior to July of the year of the award are
not eligible and should compete in another
category. The creation of job opportunities through
the business venture will count in favour of the
participant, while emphasis will be placed on
innovation and uniqueness of the enterprise and
product. A voucher will be linked to the
Entrepreneur Award to allow the recipient access to
managerial and or financial advice.
Environmental
The
Environmental Award will recognize excellence for
those activities which are developed, planned and
managed in accordance with recognised best practice
for the benefit of the sustainability of human
society and the environment on which we depend.
3. Special Awards
Community Service
This award will be given to a non-governmental,
non-political, non-profit organisation, which
focuses on the well-being, community outreach and
development of the community. Community service
organisations with a national basis will not be
considered. This award may also be awarded to an
individual.
