  • Celebrating Business

Applications are now open and can be submitted through the official website, www.maltabusinessawards.mt, until Monday, 14th July 2025.

Adjudication Process

The adjudication will take place in two phases, each contributing 50% to the final score:

  • Phase 1: Independent review and scoring of all applications by adjudicators within their respective categories.
