Each year, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce partners with Chase for Business® to recognize and celebrate small businesses around the country who are achieving success, creating opportunity, and inspiring others through the 2020 Dream Big Awards.

To recognize the many contributions made by the small business community during these challenging and unprecedented times, a new category has been added to the 2020 Dream Big Awards— the Coronavirus Community Excellence Award. This award will recognize a small business that has demonstrated an exemplary level of leadership and community engagement to assist the needs of its community during the coronavirus pandemic. The winner of the Coronavirus Community Excellence Award will be awarded a $5,000 cash prize.

2020 Dream Big Awards applications will close on Friday, July 17, 2020, and nominations will close on Friday, June 19, 2020. Click here to access the application and nomination forms and to learn more.
