Nominations Benefits
- Recognition by Denver Business Journal – the region’s business media company of record – can set a business apart from its competitors and make the business more visible in the community and to potential partners and investors.

- Service providers are encouraged to nominate exceptional clients and partners they believe are worthy of broad public recognition.
- The awards event will be memorable and a valuable opportunity to meet and network with other award-winning companies and community business leaders.
What makes good Nominations?
Think of this nomination as a job interview. A compelling nomination will:
- Get to the point! Many questions have a character limit of 2,000 characters (including spacing and punctuation). They suggest creating your responses in a word document and copying into the nomination form.
- It leaves out the unnecessary. Avoid fluff such as superfluous adjectives and empty praise. Don’t list an exhaustive resume of achievements/accomplishments; stick to the specific reasons why the individual deserves recognition.
- Make sure to highlight the big impact of your candidate’s work professionally, but don’t be repetitive.
- Quantify your answers. How much revenue did a new innovation generate or what percentage of growth did the company recognize?
- Do not include links to your website or social media pages. These are deleted prior to delivering information to judges & waste your 2,000-character limit.
Eligibility Criteria
- Nominees may come from any field, including (but not limited to) Crop Production, Livestock Production, Water, Education, Biotech, Agribusiness, or Food Production.
