Delaware SBA Office seeks applications for 2011 Small Business Week Awards

The U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Delaware District Office is seeking applications for its 2011 Small Business Week Awards. The awards will be presented at SBA’s Small Business Week Awards Dinner next May in Wilmington. The deadline for applications is Friday, November 12, 2010.

The awards recognize Delaware’s outstanding small business owners and champions in the following categories: Small Business Person of the Year, Young Entrepreneur, Small Business Exporter, Family-Owned Small Business of the Year, Women in Business Champion, Veterans Small Business Champion, Minority Small Business Champion, Financial Services Champion, Small Business Journalist, and Home-Based Business Champion.

Anyone is eligible to nominate a small business owner or champion and self-nominations are encouraged and accepted. An independent selection committee will judge the nominations. Following the selection of the state winners, the honorees will be judged at the regional and national levels for additional recognition. Last year, Delaware businesses were awarded three regional awards and for the first time, a Delaware business won a national award.
