The city of Aurora is accepting nominations from the community from Feb. 1 through March 31 for its annual Aurora Business Recognition Awards Program, which began in 2005 to celebrate successful businesses that are leaders in the workplace and community.

The program recognizes not only the economic vitality that businesses of all sizes and types bring to Aurora, but also the support these businesses provide to their employees and broader community. Award winners will be honored later this year, with more details to come.

Nominees will be evaluated by one or more of the following criteria: legacy award; innovation and creativity award; small, small business award; service, hospitality and entertainment award; and culture and community leadership award.

Visit AuroraGov.org/BusinessAwards to complete a nomination form and find out more information. The deadline for submitting a nomination is March 31.

Nominees must have been in operation for at least two years prior to January 2026 (business license issued by January 2024) and must be in good standing with all regulatory requirements. Businesses owned and operated by Aurora Business Advisory Board members are not eligible.
