The Excellence in Business Awards celebrate Bedford area businesses, organizations, and individuals whose innovation, leadership, service, and commitment make an impact within their organizations and throughout our community.
Presented annually at the Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce's Annual Gala, these awards provide an opportunity to recognize the businesses and people helping our region grow, prosper, and move forward.
2026 Award Winners
About the Awards
Each year, the Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce invites the community to nominate deserving businesses, organizations, and individuals for the Excellence in Business Awards.
Anyone may submit a nomination, including Chamber members, customers, employees, colleagues, friends, and community members. Self-nominations are also welcome, and an organization may be nominated in more than one eligible category.
Following the nomination period, submissions are reviewed and finalists are selected based on the criteria established for each award category. While criteria vary by award, consideration may include factors such as innovation, leadership, staying power, community impact, and integrity of business practices.
Receiving multiple nominations does not increase a nominee's likelihood of being selected as a finalist.
Unless otherwise noted for a specific award, nominees should be members in good standing of the Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce.
2027 Excellence in Business Awards Nominations
Nominations for the 2027 Excellence in Business Awards are expected to open in Spring 2027.
Additional information, award categories, eligibility requirements, and nomination forms will be available on this page when the nomination period opens.
