The chamber is calling all table decorators to put their own special touch to the banquet tables using this year’s theme, “Lights, camera, action.”

The nomination should include an explanation of why you feel this business should be considered for this award.
Attach any additional documentation to support the nomination. You may nominate anyone who qualifies, including your own business.
