The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize the very best in American small business. Since 2006, the Dream Big Awards program has honored the achievements of small businesses around the country and highlighted their contributions to the nation’s economic growth. 

The Dream Big Awards celebrate small businesses who are achieving success, creating opportunity and inspiring others. Winners exemplify leadership across business growth, performance, innovative business strategies, community engagement and customer relations.

Individual awards are presented in eight distinct categories and the overall winner of the Dream Big Small Business of the Year Award receives a $25,000 cash prize. There is no fee to apply, and winners will be announced in the fall at our annual awards ceremony.
