More than 80 different businesses and organisations will be vying for glory at the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce's annual dinner and awards next month.
The shortlist has been revealed ahead of the event at the ICC on March 16, with winners set to be recognised across 12 different categories from which the overall Greater Birmingham Business of the Year will be chosen.
Among those to receive nominations are Deutsche Bank, Unique Venues Birmingham, Selfridges and BMet College (scroll down for the full shortlist).
The 2023 judging panel was chaired by the chamber's chief commercial officer Katrina Cooke and included David Jackson, centre manager of McArthurGlen outlet village in Cannock, Birmingham Tech founder Yiannis Maos and Miss Macaroon founder Rosie Ginday.
Ms Cooke said: "The judges were extremely impressed by the standard of entries for this year's awards which reflect the breadth, diversity and talent of businesses across the region.
"We would like to thank the panel for taking the time to review the applications. We also commend the huge number of companies who took the time to complete entries.
"Congratulations to all those who are nominated and we look forward to celebrating at the ICC on the night."
