The French-Australian Excellence Awards, renowned for honouring outstanding contributions across various fields, have witnessed an overwhelming response. The voting process, open to the public, drew in a remarkable number of participants eager to cast their votes (more than12.500 votes) and support their preferred nominees.
Over the past weeks, individuals, organisations, and companies have fervently shared their choices in diverse categories, including Business Excellence, Cultural Exchange, Innovative Start-ups, and more. The high level of engagement reflects the significance of these awards within the French-Australian community and the wider public.
