The new categories for open nominations are Nonprofit Excellence, Agricultural Excellence, Five Star, Trailblazer, You Rock! First Responder, Inspirational Educator (chosen by a committee) and Chamber Award of Distinction (chosen by our Board of Directors). Descriptions of the awards are on the nomination forms.
