About the Small Business Awards

Each year, Cumberland Connect celebrates the incredible local businesses throughout our service territory by hosting the Small Business Showcase Awards. These awards help shine the spotlight on our members’ favorite small businesses, and it gives them a chance to win a CCFiber bill credit, too!

The Details

Read more about the Small Business Showcase Awards, including what prizes are up for grabs!

Cumberland Connect is proud to present the second annual Small Business Showcase Awards – a fun way to highlight & support local small businesses within our service territory! The Small Business Showcase Awards build up to Small Business Saturday on November 25th – which is a fantastic time to shop local and support small businesses during the holiday season.

The idea behind the awards is simple: members can nominate as many of their favorite businesses as they’d like during the nomination period.

Nominated businesses will be separated into categories, and members will then vote for their favorite businesses in each category during the voting period. We will shout-out eligible nominated businesses on our website, social media, and during a special Facebook Live broadcast.

The winning business in each category will also receive an awesome prize – and every CEMC member who nominates at least one business will be entered to win a giveaway!

All eligible nominated businesses will be given recognition on our website, our social media platforms, and during our special Facebook Live broadcast where we announce the winners.

The winning businesses in each category will receive a one-time $70 bill credit and a Cumberland Connect Swag Package.

Each CEMC member who nominates at least one business will be entered to win a random drawing for 1 of 5 prize packages containing a Tennessee Cutting Board, an Amazon Firestick, and Cumberland Connect Swag.

The five member winners along with the five winning businesses will announced during a special Facebook Live (event date TBD). Winners will be contacted via email. Click here to read official giveaway rules.

Nomination Period: September 28 – October 25

During the nomination period, you can nominate as many businesses as you’d like. You must submit a nomination and include your email address on the form to be entered for the random prize drawing!

Voting Period: October 29 – November 15

During the voting period, you can select and vote for as many businesses as you’d like from each category on the form above. Voting will be limited to one form submission per person per day.

Votes Tallied & Random Winners Drawn after Voting Period Ends

We will tally all the votes and draw the random winners after the voting period comes to a close on November 15.

Facebook Live Broadcast to Announce Winners: Event Date TBD

We will announce the winners during a special Facebook Live broadcast. We will update this page and announce the event on our social media channels as soon as we confirm the date! Click here to follow our Facebook page.

Any business that is served electrically by CEMC is eligible to be nominated and win an award! Our team will verify eligibility of each nomination, so feel free to nominate a business even if you aren’t sure.

Voting has concluded. Be sure to watch the winners’ announcement on a special Facebook Live event (Thursday, November 21 @ 1:00 pm).
