Nominations are now open for the 2025 Wine Industry Impact Awards, hosted by Wine Industry Suppliers Association (WISA).
Now in its ninth year, the awards continue to shine a light on the outstanding contributions made by wine industry suppliers through collaborative, innovative and impactful partnerships across the grape and wine value chain.
The awards recognise initiatives that demonstrate measurable improvements to the capability, competitiveness and resilience of the grape and wine sector.
“In today’s fast-evolving and competitive landscape, it’s critical that wine producers have access to cutting-edge solutions, sustainable practices and innovative thinking,” says Liz Schoen, executive chair of WISA.
“These awards provide a platform for suppliers to showcase the real impact their work has on wine businesses, from vineyard to consumer.”
The categories include Sustainability, Packaging & Design, Wine Tourism, Viticulture, Ag-Tech, Engineering, Winemaking & Oenology and Logistics.
Nominations are now open for the 2025 Impact Awards and will close on Friday 29 August.
An independent panel of expert judges will assess nominations in September, with finalists invited to attend WISA’s 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner on Wednesday 20 November in Adelaide, where winners will be announced.
“These awards represent more than a trophy – they’re a signal of leadership, partnership and innovation,” says Liz.
“We look forward to celebrating the people and businesses who are driving positive change and helping ensure a thriving wine industry.”
WISA welcomes nominations from overseas.
“This broadening of scope reflects the increasingly global nature of our industry, and the shared challenges and opportunities faced by suppliers and producers around the world,” Liz says.
