Cardinia Shire Council is hosting its inaugural Celebrate Cardinia Business 2022 event to recognise and acknowledge the recovery and hard work of local businesses throughout the past two years.
The event aims to support and celebrate local businesses that have supported their customers and the community during an extremely challenging few years during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The council is inviting Cardinia Shire businesses to submit a short 30 to 45 second promotional video including what their business does and their greatest achievement over the past two years.
Video entries are open until Sunday 6 November.
The video submissions will be shown at the event, where business owners and their staff will enjoy dinner, door prizes, and the opportunity to network.
Businesses that enter will automatically receive two tickets to the evening celebration.
Cardinia Shire Mayor Cr Jeff Springfield said he was pleased to be able to provide these events for the local business community.
“This is an exciting opportunity for our business community to share ideas, connect, and collaborate,” Cr Springfield said.
“Businesses have and continue to feel the effects of the pandemic. This event will give them the opportunity to celebrate what they have achieved and gives Council the chance to acknowledge their hard work and thank them for all they’ve done for our community over the past couple of years.”
Following input and conversations with local business owners, the new event replaces the former Casey Cardinia Business Awards ceremony and will provide businesses of all sizes and stages the chance to network with others and showcase their brands through short videos, in a relaxed atmosphere.
The event will be held from 6.30pm to 11pm on Thursday 17 November at the Cardinia Cultural Centre, Lakeside Boulevard, Pakenham.
