Please remember this is an annual community-led campaign.
While marketing packages are offered to all finalists so they can take advantage of being recognized by their community, payments do not impact the results. Dozens of businesses are nominated in each category so being a finalist, regardless of the outcome, is a massive achievement.
These raised funds allow us run this campaign: it covers the costs of our small team, website hosting & developments, printing, and marketing for the year long campaign. Next year we hope to find a sponsor to help us with these efforts! Thank you to all the businesses who help keep the dream alive!
Congrats to all involved.
