Call for Nominations, Pima County Seeks to Crown Small Businesses of the Year in Tucson and Beyond
The race to recognize and celebrate the backbone of Pima County's diverse economic landscape is on, as the Pima County Small Business Commission starts to warmly accept nominations for its venerable Small Business of the Year Awards. The commission, associated with the fabric of local enterprise development, has dedicated itself to acknowledge standout small businesses across three categories: Urban, Rural, and Nonprofit.
The specifics to be game for these awards include some geographical considerations. Seeing as to qualify for the Urban accolade, a business must be located within Tucson city limits, while rural nominations can stem from any enclave outside this area or from the more bucolic reaches of unincorporated Pima County. Nonprofit contenders can make their mark anywhere within the county's generous confines, according to the recent announcement from the county's news webpage.
Beyond location, the conditions for consideration include a prerequisite that the business be owned or managed by a resident of Pima County, have to been in operation for no less than two years, and employ fewer than a hundred people. These stipulations aim to ensure that the awards sanctify the genuine small business spirit rather than inadvertently glorifying burgeoning medium-sized enterprises.
Worth mentioning too is how businesses are encouraged to be nominated, whether they step forward to trumpet their own successes or are earmarked by clients and customers who've felt the keen edge of their excellent services or products. Indeed, it would seem that anyone keen to have their favorite local business recognized need advise to navigate their way to the online application form, which must be submitted by the deadline of 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20, as was pointed out on the county's news release.
In a look back, a review of bygone victors yields insight into the diversity and innovation consistently on display in Pima County's small business pool. A sparkling bridal shop, a beloved coffee venue, nonprofits aimed at women's assistance, construction trades, educational enablers during the fraught pandemic days and even an automobile restoration gem, all these have held the distinction of Small Business of the Year, painting a picture of a vibrant, indispensable sector of the local economy.
