THE 2022 AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS FOR INDIGENOUS LITERACY HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED
31 Oct 2022
On Tuesday, November 22, the Smart WFM Australian Business Book Awards will celebrate their fourth year of honoring businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and owners who have authored and published a book showcasing their expertise.
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation, which makes investments in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to influence the future of their children's literacy, will receive 100% of the Awards' proceeds.
Bestselling author Andrew Griffiths and publishing guru Michael Hanrahan established the Awards to give non-fiction business authors a platform to impart their knowledge to existing and potential colleagues as well as the general public.
The prizes will debut a new judging advisory council with about 50 judges this year to carefully assess the many kinds of nonfiction.
Categories for the 2022 Awards include:
- Entrepreneurship & Small Business
- Social Responsibility
- Personal Development
- Sales and communication
- Personal Finance & Investment
- Management and HR
- Leadership
- Technology
- Health & Wellbeing
- General Business
All novels will also be taken into consideration for Book of the Year and Best Cover Design.
Smart WFM, a leading global human capital management (HCM) consultancy, is back as a Platinum Sponsor. Business authors have a significant impact on the economy and indigenous literacy, according to Jarrod McGrath, CEO of Smart WFM and author of The Digital Workforce and the upcoming book The Modern CEO.
"According to McGrath, the Australian Business Book Awards meet all of our criteria. It is crucial for our economy and the survival of our nation that they promote, encourage, and acknowledge Australian business authors."
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation is supported by the prizes, which are nonprofit. We are quite delighted to know that our contribution to this organization, which does amazing work, will ultimately encourage indigenous literacy in Australia.
According to Andrew Griffiths, the prizes have already significantly benefited the foundation, and he hopes that 2022 will be their most successful year yet.
According to Andrew Griffiths,"These awards serve the very constructive goal of recognising and rewarding Australian non-fiction business authors."
Over the course of the awards' existence, we have been able to provide the Indigenous Literacy Foundation more than $35,000. Without Jarrod and Michelle McGrath and the Smart WFM team's tremendous help and generosity, this would not have been possible.
Entries will remain open until Friday, August 26th, with more than 200 book entries expected.
Winners will be unveiled on Tuesday, November 22nd, at an online awards event.
