Last few days to enter the QSR Media Awards 2026

The awarding ceremony is on 12 October 2026.

Australia's quick-service restaurant operators have until 7 August to submit nominations for the QSR Media Awards 2026, with winners to be announced at the QSR Media Conference & Awards on 12 October.

The awards programme is open to all multi-site fast-food and fast-casual restaurant brands in Australia, with nominations accepted free of charge.

Each brand may submit entries in up to five of the programme's 22 categories, which recognise achievements across digital initiatives, brand transformation, marketing campaigns, menu innovation, customer experience, sustainability, employee recognition, drive-thru operations, loyalty, diversity and inclusion, and other areas.

Entries will be evaluated by an independent panel of industry experts based on three criteria: uniqueness and innovation, effectiveness, and dynamism.

The winners will be revealed during the QSR Media Conference & Awards 2026, powered by Red Bull, which will be held on the same day.

More information on eligibility and the awards programme is available on the QSR Media Awards website.
