Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there an admin fee?

Your Admin Fee -  A Blessing and an Investment in Kingdom Impact

Here’s the blessing: your $55 admin fee will be converted into a discount code you can use towards purchasing your ticket to the Australian Christian Business Awards Night. This is our way of helping you invest in your nomination and take the next step in celebrating Kingdom excellence.

We ask for this fee to ensure commitment to the nomination process and to help us cover essential costs such as administration, event production and awards logistics. Every detail is designed to create a credible, high-quality awards experience that truly honours the incredible work being done in Christian business.

Important Note: If or any reason you cannot attend the awards night, this fee is not redeemable for cash, nor can it be transferred to another person. In that case, it will be treated as a donation to help us continue growing this initiative and advancing God’s Kingdom through Christian business excellence.

How does the judging process work?

Our Judging Panel

Our judges are seasoned leaders and experts, carefully chosen for their understanding of both Kingdom principles and the unique challenges of Christian business. Each nomination is evaluated with discernment, using clear criteria that honour God, reflect faith in action, and measure meaningful business impact.

Once all nominations for every category have been submitted, our judges review them thoroughly against the criteria. They will then select 3 to 4 finalists per category (depending on the number of nominations). These finalists move to the next step: a personal interview process, where judges speak directly with each finalist to discern impact, faith in action, and Kingdom influence. The insights from these interviews ultimately determine the winner.

To ensure fairness, accountability, and integrity, each category is reviewed by two judges. In a close-knit Christian business community where everyone often knows each other, this dual-judge system provides extra accountability, impartiality, and credibility.

The process is designed to be fair, confidential, and rigorous, so every nominee receives the respect, recognition, and consideration they deserve.

Why are we hosting this event?

We exist to bring the Christian business community together, across denominations, to encourage unity, collaboration, and mentorship. By shining a light on faith-driven leaders, we hope to inspire others to walk boldly in their calling, steward their gifts faithfully, and pursue excellence in every part of their business.

This event is about legacy, impact, and faith in action - showcasing those who are not only achieving business success but are also transforming lives, communities, and industries for God’s glory. It’s our way of standing together as a Kingdom community, celebrating what God is doing in the marketplace, and raising the standard for faith-led leadership in Australia.

Are you a Not for Profit?

The Australian Christian Business Awards is operated by a registered company, not a traditional not-for-profit. We are proudly pro-purpose, meaning our mission is to honour Christ-centred business excellence while creating positive impact in the marketplace.

While we are a company, giving back is a core part of our mission. Each year, a portion of proceeds is donated to a Christian charity of choice, supporting causes that align with our values and the advancement of God’s Kingdom. This ensures that our work contributes to meaningful community impact while sustaining a high-quality, credible awards platform.

We are committed to full transparency:

  • The awards and event are designed to celebrate faith-driven business leaders.
  • All giving to charity is tracked and communicated publicly as part of our accountability.
  • The structure as a company allows us to sustainably operate, grow the initiative, and maintain excellence, while still honouring our faith-led mission.
