Welcome to the 2025 Fernie Business Excellence Awards Nomination Survey!

The nomination period will run from July 16 - August 24 at 11:59 p.m.. Cast your nominations using the survey below!

Nominations are easy: you can nominate for every category, or just the ones you feel strongly about provided the nominee meets the criteria outlined in the online nomination survey. 

The theme for this edition is Rooted Resilience: Growing Stronger Together.

This theme honours the strength and growth that come from deep community connections. Let’s shine the light on those whose grit, achievements and meaningful contributions to our economy and community are making us more powerful, more connected, and more grounded.

About the winner selection process:

All nominees from the different categories will be contacted once the nomination period closes. They will be provided with instructions to submit a Nominee Form that will be used by the judges to determine the finalists and winners.

*Nominee's must be a Fernie Chamber member in good standing (exceptions: Citizen of the Year and Community Group of the Year).
