Local Business Spotlights & Nominations

They show up for us.
Let’s show up for them.

Know a local small business making a difference? Tell us who they are, what they do and the moment that made you say, “More people need to know about them.”

Nominate a local business

Notice the difference.

Recognize a business that serves its neighbors, opens doors or goes the extra mile. A specific story matters more than a follower count.

Tell us the story.

Share your own experience and the business’s contact details so our team can check the nomination.

Help us verify it.

We may contact you and the business before considering a spotlight. Nominations stay private during review.

A nomination starts with a real connection.

Please nominate a business you do not own, manage or represent. Use your own contact information and explain how you know the business. Self-nominations are not eligible for this process.

We review identity, contact details, social profiles, duplicate submissions and the example you provide. A declaration alone cannot prove independence; our team makes the verification decision.

Submitting does not guarantee publication, an award or gala eligibility. We’ll obtain permission before publishing a business spotlight. Please provide business contact details intended for business inquiries.

Give a local business its moment

Who deserves to be seen?

Your details identify you as the nominator. The business details are collected separately for verification. Required fields include the business’s phone, email, social links, location and your reason; the owner’s name is optional.
