We are proud to announce the finalists for The Summit 2025 Awards!
This year we received an overwhelming response, and the calibre of nominations means some categories feature more than three finalists. Winners will be announced at the Awards & Gala Dinner on Tuesday, 28 October 2025 at Rydges Resort Hunter Valley. Congratulations to all!
