Chamber recognizes Austin’s top businesses

Each year, the Austin Chamber honors businesses that excel in a dozen categories, from the fundamental (Customer Experience) to the novel (Homegrown Consumer Packaged Goods) to the distinctive (Uniquely Austin). The winning businesses are selected by an independent panel of judges (except for the Uniquely Austin winner, which is selected by public voting from a list of finalists chosen by the judges). The deadline for nominations for the 19th Annual Greater Austin Business Awards is Friday, May 24, and the award ceremony, which is open to all nominees, finalists and the general public, is held Aug. 21 at the JW Marriott Austin, 110 E. Second St. To learn more about the 12 categories or to nominate your business, visit the chamber’s website.
