The Smart Business Awards is a new program to coincide with Queensland's 150th birthday.
The Smart Business Awards will applaud the efforts of those companies and entrepreneurs that have made the largest impact/transformation to the Queensland economy since 1859.
The Queensland Government encourages everyone - businesses and community members - to nominate companies which have contributed to Queensland's transformation from our establishment as a state in 1859 until today.
These could be (but are not limited to):
- long-established businesses
- those which are recognised around the world or
- changed the way we do business in Queensland.
The Smart Business Awards offers six categories, including the overall Retrospective Award category:

- The Premier of Queensland's Corporate Social Responsibility Award - to recognise the company that has had the greatest ongoing commitment to the environment, the community or education over the past 150 years.
- The Premier of Queensland's Most Iconic Business Award - to recognise the company that is regarded as the most iconic (product, service, brand etc) in Queensland over the past 150 years.
