Description

For 47 years, the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Awards have been the most prestigious honors celebrating our Chamber’s best businesses and non-profits. The purpose of the Business of the Year Awards are to recognize local businesses who have excelled to the top of their category. The Chamber accepts all member nominations, and we, as a Chamber body, celebrate five business/organization categories: “Small Business”, “Medium Business”, “Large Business”, “New Business”, and “Non-Profit”. We want to create excitement and lots of energy to celebrate all our businesses, but at Business of the Year, we celebrate those that have gone above and beyond to exemplify what a Business of the Year is!
