2023 Small Business Awards
The County of Northern Lights and the Manning Chamber of Commerce are happy to announce some exciting changes to this year's awards!
This year's awards have been simplified to make nominating businesses easier for you! This was done by combining the awards and presenting 5 awards instead of the traditional 9.
This change was made to help reduce award nomination confusion and to create a more streamlined and cohesive nomination and winner selection process.
Winner Selection Process Correction:
Nominations will run from September 15 - October 5. The Economic Development Committee will then shortlist the nominees and voting will run October 6 - 16.
