The Details

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

The Small Business Showcase Awards are Cumberland Connect’s fourth annual celebration of the small businesses and organizations in our service territory. The awards lead up to Small Business Saturday on November 28, a great day to shop local and kick off the holiday season.

This year, we’ve made it easier than ever to join in, because nominating and voting now happen in one step. Your ballot has six categories, and you can pick a favorite in as many of them as you’d like. If the business you love isn’t on the list yet, write it in! Once our team confirms it’s eligible, we’ll add it to the ballot so everyone else can vote for it too.

You can submit one ballot per day through November 10. The business with the most votes in each category wins, and every CEMC member who submits a ballot is entered for a chance to win one of five $100 MyBundle streaming credits.

The winning business in each of our six categories will receive a one-time $70 bill credit and a Cumberland Connect swag package.

Every CEMC member who submits a ballot will be entered into a random drawing for 1 of 5 MyBundle streaming credits, which you can use to redeem for your choice of streaming service(s) through MyBundle’s platform.

We’ll announce our six winning businesses and giveaway winners on social media and our website on Thursday, November 12, and we’ll contact winners by email or phone. Click here to read the official giveaway rules.

Voting Period: October 13 through November 10
Pick a favorite in as many categories as you’d like, and write in any business that isn’t on the list yet. You can submit one ballot per day, so come back and vote again!

Votes Tallied and Giveaway Winners Drawn
After voting closes on November 10, we’ll count every vote and draw our giveaway winners.

Winners Announced: November 12
We’ll share the winners on Cumberland Connect’s social media and update this page so you can see who took the top spot in each category. Follow us on Facebook so you don’t miss it!

Any business or organization served electrically by CEMC is eligible to win! Not sure if your favorite qualifies? Write it in anyway. Our team checks every write-in, and eligible businesses will be added to the ballot.
