Finalists

Each year the AEA has between 75-85 National Finalists. This is made possible through the collaboration of the eight States and Territories, who each independently run their export awards programs – entering at the State and Territory level is the only way of becoming a national finalist.

The Awards operates as a two-tier process: exporters first achieve state/territory distinction through their local export award program. Local winners then progress as national finalists and are benchmarked against their peers across the country, with winners receiving national recognition for their international success.
