Your Top 5 Finalists for the 13th Annual Small Business BC Awards have been chosen after careful consideration by our judges. The competition was strong with a record-breaking 535 nominations from across the province and a standout selection of Top 10 Semi-Finalists.
Now, the Top 5 Finalists, with the exception of the Premier’s People’s Choice Award, will present a ten minute Dragon’s Den-style pitch to a panel of leading entrepreneurs and industry experts. These judges will determine the winners of this year’s Small Business BC Awards. The Premier’s People’s Choice Award is awarded to the business with the greatest amount of votes.
Winners will be announced on February 25, 2016 at the Small Business BC Awards Ceremony at the Pan Pacific Vancouver, hosted by Travel Best Bets Founder and Global BC travel expert, Claire Newell. Space is limited, so buy your ticket today.
