Submit your Nominations for our annual awards

The Holly Area Chamber of Commerce has served the Holly Community for many years recognizing businesses, organizations, persons, and families who have demonstrated excellence and commitment to the Holly area. 
 
The nomination period is announced annually and the public is invited to submit nominations.  Each year a committee of chamber board members will carefully read each application, discuss the merits of each, and then make the final selection in each category.  All volunteer their time to this worthy effort.  Awardees will be announced and recognized at the Chamber's Annual Dinner on Saturday, January 27, 2024.

This year the nomination period is open through 5 pm Friday, December 30, 2023.
