Could Your Business Be a 2026 Leeds Small Business of the Year | Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2026

If you’ve ever thought, “We’re probably too small to win an award,” remember these are the Small Business Awards. We are looking for businesses of all sizes that demonstrate leadership, community involvement, chamber engagement, and business success.

Many outstanding businesses never receive recognition simply because no one takes the time to submit a nomination. Don’t let that happen to a deserving business—or to yours.

Award categories include:

  • Emerging Business (in business fewer than five years)
  • Small Business (1-10 employees)
  • Small Business (11-50 employees)
  • Small Business (51-100 employees)

This is an opportunity to tell the story of a business that is making a difference in our community. Whether you are nominating a favorite local business or submitting your own business for consideration, we encourage you to share those stories with us.

🏅 Local winners don’t stop at the local level. The top Leeds winner in each category will be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce of Alabama for consideration in the Alabama Small Business Awards. State winners will be recognized at the BCA/CCAA Partnership Annual Meeting on November 18, 2026, at The Club in Birmingham.

Don’t wait for someone else to do it.

Share your story. Recognize excellence. Submit a nomination today. To request a nomination form, email Diane at Diane.LeedsAreaChamber@gmail.com. The deadline for nominations is Friday, July 17, 2026.

We look forward to celebrating the outstanding small businesses that help make Leeds a stronger community.

Thank you!
