Illinois state Sen. Patrick Joyce is inviting constituents to nominate businesses for the 2022 National Small Business Week Awards.
The annual National Small Business Week Awards recognize the important contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. Nominations for the 2022 National Small Business Week Awards are open until Jan. 11, 2022.
"Have you heard? The U.S. Small Business Administration is accepting nominations NOW for the 2022 National #SmallBusinessWeek!" Joyce wrote in a Facebook post late last month.
On Nov. 26, Joyce posted a video on Facebook where he encouraged his constituents and followers to prioritize local businesses.
"As you kick off your holiday shopping this year, don't forget to patronize our neighborhood businesses, especially on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 27. #SmallBusinessSaturday" Joyce wrote.
Visitors can find the forms to nominate businesses for each category at the U.S. Small Business Administration's site.
The U.S. Small Business Administration has celebrated National Small Business Week (NSBW) for more than 50 years.
