The Capital Region’s business community is built by people willing to take risks, pursue ambitious ideas and turn opportunity into lasting impact. Now is your chance to help recognize them.
Business Report is accepting nominations for the 2027 Business Awards & Hall of Fame, honoring the executives, entrepreneurs and companies setting the pace for the region—as well as accomplished business leaders whose careers have left an enduring mark.
Nominations are open in five categories:
- Businessperson of the Year
- Young Businessperson of the Year
- Company of the Year—100 or more employees
- Company of the Year—fewer than 100 employees
- Hall of Fame, recognizing a lifetime of business achievement, both living and posthumously
For more than four decades, the Business Awards & Hall of Fame—presented by Business Report and Junior Achievement—has celebrated the vision, ingenuity and leadership behind some of the Capital Region’s most consequential business success stories. Honorees are selected by an independent panel of community judges.
Nominate a deserving leader or company—or submit yourself or your own organization for consideration. The 2027 honorees will be featured in Business Report and celebrated at a special event next spring.
Nominations must be submitted by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, 2026. Submit a nomination and explore past honorees here.
