Step Two - Nominee Submission Package
Every nominee will receive an official letter of congratulations and a Community Excellence Awards submission package which will need to be completed and returned no later than May 5th to be considered for further recognition except in the case of Citizen of the Year.
Step Three - The Judging Process
Along with the public nomination information, the business submission package will be used to determine the 3 finalists in each category and the winners by an independent panel of judges from outside of the Armstrong Spallumcheen area. Based on the information and details provided by the nominees, the panel will rate the businesses against the award criteria. Exceptions to this process are the Citizen of the Year and the President’s Choice Awards – which are judged by 1 representative of the chamber board, 1 staff member and a member of the community.
