Regional Development Australia Grampians Opens Nominations for Growers and Producers People’s Choice Award

As part of the Federation University Australia Commerce Ballarat Business Excellence Awards, nominations for the Regional Development Australia (RDA) – Grampians Growers and Producers People’s Choice Award are now open!

The award recognises the outstanding growers and producers who shape our vibrant culinary scene, and is open to all growers and producers in the RDA Grampians region. Simply head to the nomination form address below and nominate your favourite local produce to put on your plate or in your glass.

The winner of last year’s award was Rightbank Brewing Society. Founded by Danny and Samantha Whiteman, Rightbank is a small-scale nanobrewery in Horsham, which produces small batch, hand crafted beer – and every variety includes Victorian barley.

All eligible nominated businesses will be given the opportunity to participate in the voting process.

Nominations close 5 July, and the winner will be announced at the 2025 Federation University Commerce Ballarat Business Excellence Awards Gala Dinner on 21 August.
