Richmond Chamber of Commerce is calling for nominations for its 46th annual Business Excellence Awards.
The awards were launched in 1997 to celebrate outstanding businesses in Richmond in 10 categories including Outstanding Workplace of the Year, New Business of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year and others.
To date, the chamber has received fewer nominations for Green Business of the Year, Innovative Enterprise of the Year and Association of the Year compared to other categories, said the organization in a statement.
“The Business Excellence Awards are the most important event of the Richmond business calendar,” the chamber wrote on its website.
“These [recognized] organizations are the innovative leaders and driving force behind Richmond’s vibrant economy.”
Thirty nominees will be selected as finalists and 10 will be recognized as award recipients at a gala.
The deadline for nomination is 5 p.m. on Aug. 28.
