The Best Dressed Premises Awards took on the Rodeo theme of “Buck the Recession” in 2009 and the introduction of new categories and attractive prize incentives resulted in a significant increase in the number of entrants from the previous year competing for major titles.
Categories this year included Grand Champion (10 Employees and Under), Grand Champion (10 Employees & Over), Best Business Display, Schools/Non Profit/Community Organisations and Best Window Display.

Over thirty organisations entered this year’s awards with judges extremely impressed with the calibre, creativity and quality of the displays as well as the dedication and passion driving the staff behind the exhibitions.
Winners were awarded this year with $300 staff appreciation packages that allowed the winning organisation to dictate to event organisers where they would like the $500 spent on their staff. Examples of prizes included dinner, day spas and golf days that allowed all staff to take advantage of the prize for their efforts over Rodeo Festival Week.
Presentation day was a morning tea at the Buff Club with over 50 attendees on the day.
