The Annual Aspire Awards are designed to provide incentives and opportunities for secondary students across a range of curriculum areas. Students are encouraged to participate by entering one or more of the 27 award and competition categories available.
Most categories involve an application process, followed by judging and, in some cases, interviews. These awards are not only evaluated by an industry panel but are also financially supported by industry sponsors who are committed to promoting career opportunities within their respective fields.
The Business Liaison Association has proudly offered awards since 1993. However, the Annual Awards, as they are now known, were first introduced in 2000 with just six awards and competition categories, supported by six sponsors. In 2025, the Association expanded to offer 28 awards and competitions, with the generous backing of 69 industry sponsors and supporters.
29 Aspire awards are being offered in 2026:
