Seb Cloete, chairman of the GJCB, says in this event, small businesses will compete on an equal level with large businesses. All profitseeking businesses conducting business in Johannesburg qualify for participation. This includes businesses in Midrand, Sandton, Fourways, Edenvale, Randburg, Roodepoort, the city centre, Soweto and the southern parts of Johannesburg. Businesses which have a head office in another region with a branch in Johannesburg, are also eligible.

The business must release a set of annual statements to the competition organisers and complete part of the adjudication forms to enable judges to conduct background checks which will ensure that every business judged in the correct category. Non-members of the Chamber of Business may also participate. No additional fees will be charged to non-members, although non-members will be encouraged to join the GJCB. Members of NAFCOC, JCCI etc are also welcome to participate.
