SLICK AWARDS 2026

For the first time ever, Melbourne Rubber is proud to present the Slick Awards, celebrating the unsung heroes who help make our community strong, welcoming and vibrant.

From individuals who inspire and support others, to those who volunteer their time, create incredible things, build community connections or make a positive impact through their business, these awards are a chance to recognise the people and contributions that make Melbourne’s rubber community special.

This year's award categories are Rubber Expression, Community Presence, Care & Connection, Service to Community, and Business Excellence.

You can nominate yourself or someone else, and nominations will be reviewed by a diverse Slick Awards panel. Winners will be announced during the Melbourne Rubber Competition 2026 as part of Slick Week.
