Our Awards
Our Award Process
PIBA prides itself on being an inclusive and community-driven event. The award process is designed to be transparent and participatory, involving public nominations and voting. This ensures that the awards truly reflect the voices and choices of the community. Pet owners, industry professionals, and enthusiasts are all encouraged to nominate and vote for their favourites, making PIBA a celebration by the community, for the community.
The award categories cover a wide range of achievements within the pet industry, from best pet shop and outstanding pet service provider to individual awards recognising personal dedication and innovation. Each category is carefully crafted to ensure that all aspects of the pet industry are represented and celebrated. Our rigorous selection process involves multiple stages, including initial nominations, shortlisting by our expert panel, and final public voting.
Transparency is at the core of our award process. We ensure that all nominations and votes are accounted for and that the process is fair and unbiased. By involving the public at every stage, we make sure that the winners truly represent the community’s favourites. Our aim is to create a sense of ownership and pride among all participants, knowing that their contributions are recognised and valued.
