It’s that time of year again! It is the moment when we get to roll out the metaphorical red carpet and celebrate the absolute rockstars of our community.

Nominations are officially OPEN, and we’re asking you to take a moment and think about the individuals, organizations, and businesses that have inspired you, supported you, or made a meaningful impact this year. Whether it’s a quiet hero who never seeks the spotlight or a business that consistently goes above and beyond, your nomination is a way to share their story.

Think of the people and businesses who make you smile, who make this community better, who show up, lift up, and stand out. If someone popped into your mind just now, that’s your cue. Nominate them. If you thought of three people, even better. Nominate them too.

We’re also introducing several new award categories, opening the door for even more voices, more stories, and more ways to celebrate the incredible people who shape our community.

Oh, and a little side note (but a fun one): this year’s celebration is on November 5th, and it’s getting a glow‑up. We’re heading to a new venue, shaking things up with a new format, and adding some exciting raffle items. We will fill you in on those details soon.

But none of that matters without the heart of the event: your nominations. So go ahead and make someone’s day. Or year. Nominate now.
