Premier's People's Choice
Nominate a BusinessSponsored By:
It takes a community to grow a small business. It also takes a community to win our Premier’s People’s Choice Award. This unique award category is presented to a BC-based small business that can demonstrate they have the unwavering and loyal support of their community. The criteria for winning is simple: Get more votes than any other nominee.
We understand it’s been a challenging year for small businesses across our province. That’s why we’re automatically entering nominees from all our other award categories for this year’s Premier’s People’s Choice Award.
Nominees are tasked with using any imaginative, creative or traditional tactics available to them to engage customers, clients and neighbours to vote for them. At the end of the process, the business with the most votes from their community is our winner.
