The 2019 SBIA Awards are open for nomination and we encourage every SBIA Retail and Brand Member to get amongst the action for a chance to take out the best-in-class performer in your chosen category.

The nomination process is easy; we’ve broken it down in two parts.

Part 1: For Brand Members who wish to nominate a stand out independent retailer or a deserving account manager or agent that goes above and beyond. 
Part 2: For Brand and Retail Members to nominate for an award.   Retailers…remember you can self-nominate for Australian Retailer of the year, Excellence in Retail Marketing, Environment and Shop Fit of the Year.  Brands, you will need to self-nominate for all awards.

Step 2: Brands…if you wish to nominate a deserving retailer, it only takes a minute to email the Awards Team at admin@sbia.com.au To nominate the retailer, their store name and location is all we need.
