The Lunenburg-Queens Business Excellence Awards, organized and presented annually by the Lunenburg Queens Business Excellence Association, is a prestigious event that recognizes, celebrates, and inspires business excellence in the region. What started as a small event in Bridgewater has now expanded to include businesses from throughout the Lunenburg-Queens region. The Awards comprise six categories: Large Business, Small Business, Innovation, New Business, Outstanding Service, and Hospitality.

Nominations are carefully reviewed by an independent selection committee, and three finalists are chosen for each category. The winners are announced during a gala awards banquet where they receive a handcrafted plaque, created by Amos Pewter in Mahone Bay, to commemorate their achievement. Additionally, all finalists receive a complimentary ticket to the banquet and awards ceremony.

The event, held on March 6th, 2023 (with a snow date of March 7th, 2023), will take place at the Best Western Plus Bridgewater Hotel and Convention Center.
