Listen to this articleAstound Business Solutions, which operates in the Lehigh Valley, has announced the opening of its fourth-annual Community Impact Awards, recognizing small businesses in each of its markets for contributions to their community, with the opportunity to win one year of free internet service.
Astound Business Solutions has begun accepting submissions from around the country to help recognize small businesses that contribute to their surrounding communities.
The Community Impact Awards accepts both nominated and self-nominated entries.
These can include businesses whose day-to-day work contributes to the broader well-being of their communities, such as food banks, non-profit and educational organizations, music venues and grass roots organizations, as well as local businesses that engender a sense of community, such as coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores, locally based fitness facilities, and more.
Neither nominators nor nominees need to be current Astound customers for nomination consideration. All entries must be received by Dec. 31.
Nominated small businesses will be entered for a chance to win the Community Impact Award, with one winner in every market that Astound Business Solutions serves to be selected on or about Feb. 1.
“Each year, the Community Impact Awards generate inspiring entries from a broad cross-section of small businesses and non-profit organizations across the nation who share a commitment to making positive impacts in their local communities,” said Patrick Knorr, chief commercial officer for Astound Business Solutions. “Small businesses play vital economic roles in their communities every day and we developed these awards specifically to salute those who also show leadership through service.”
To enter, all participants must provide valid, up-to-date contact information through the submission form.
