Byron businesses have until midnight tomorrow, Saturday, October 24, to enter this year’s Uniquely Byron Business Awards after organisers extended the application deadline.

Run by the Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce, the awards recognise local businesses across 17 categories, with winners to be announced at an awards night and end-of-year celebration next month.
The chamber is encouraging entries from both new businesses and established operators, with awards recognising contributions across industries including hospitality, retail, the arts and professional services.
‘The Awards recognise, acknowledge and celebrate what it means to do business in Byron,’ the chamber said.
‘They capture the spirit of Byron in all its diversity.’
Entries opened on September 14 and were initially due to close on October 17.
The awards presentation will take place at Loft Byron Bay on Thursday, November 26, from 5.45pm to 10.30pm.
The event will include the ceremony, grazing boards and canapés, drinks, networking and music. The chamber says last year’s event sold out.
Entries can be made here.
