The city of Port Moody is once again calling on residents to nominate their favourite local business for the sixth annual Spike Awards.
Residents can nominate a business in no more than two of the six available categories, which include the best Arts in Business, Street Appeal, Technology and Innovation, Environmental, Customer Service and Tourist Destination. Everyone who nominates a business will have a chance to win an iPad. The awards will be bestowed by the city's economic development committee at a gala event Oct. 20 at city hall.
"The gala evening is a great opportunity for local business owners to make connections," Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini said in a release. "It's essential to have opportunities like this to strengthen our business community."
All Spike Award nominations must be in by Sept. 29. Nominations can be made online at portmoody.ca/spikeawards or by filling out a paper ballot at any Port Moody civic facility.
The 2011 Spike Awards will also honour a Port Moody "Business Star," an individual who can best wow the crowd with a one-minute business pitch on an as-yet undeveloped idea, product or service. Residents can sign up to deliver their pitch at spikeawards@portmoody.ca or by calling 604-469-4521.
