2019 Santa Fe Business Awards Nomination Form

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2019 Santa Fe Business Awards. All local, for-profit businesses are eligible for nomination and self nominations are encouraged. (Non-profits are encouraged to apply for the Santa Fe Community Foundation Piñon Awards.)

You may nominate multiple businesses by refreshing this form when completed. Seven awards will be presented this year:

Business Excellence - 3 Categories
Small Business of the Year
Green Business of the Year
Family-Friendly Business of the Year
Woman-Owned Business of the Year

Winners are selected by the quality of the nominations and not the quantity. The more descriptive and concise a nomination is, the better the chance for the business to win an award. Under “specific examples," we encourage you to state how the nominated business meets one or more of the award criteria - refer to bullets after award title.

The deadline for nominations is Sunday, May 12, 2019. Award winners will be announced at the Daniels Insurance – Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce Red Carpet Gala on Friday, June 14, 2019. Tickets can be obtained by clicking here.
