DCN Nominations

The judging panel is keen to identify individuals, organisations or groups who've truly set themselves apart. We want to hear from every corner of the Australian maritime sector and encourage you to take part and nominate individuals, organisations or groups you think deserve to be recognised. Eligibility for nominations spans across the board – businesses, corporate entities, nonprofits, and private individuals alike. Feel free to nominate oneself, a valued client, or a customer for any award category.

Please note: The Newsmaker of the Year and Hall of Fame honours are exclusively determined by Daily Cargo News, while the Liner Trade and Customer Service accolades are bestowed based on insights from our data analysis team and feedback from our readers, respectively.

All nominations are independently reviewed by the judging panel before making their recommendation to DCN.

Nominations close at 5pm AEST Wednesday, 2 October 2024
