KY Inno is looking for innovative companies setting the business community ablaze.
The Fire Awards are Inno's premier recognition program, honoring the companies and organizations in Kentucky and Southern Indiana that are leading innovation in their communities.
Large or small, if your company is on fire in 2022, submit a nomination here. The deadline for nominations is Monday, Aug. 29.
After reviewing the nominations, the KY Inno team and Louisville Business First staff will select the honorees and group them into categories. One winner per category will be selected and crowned the "Blazer Winner."
All will be featured in a November edition of LBF in print and online.
What makes an Inno Fire Award company? Amazing stories of innovators reshaping the ecosystem.
Some things we look for in selecting the Fire Award honorees are: new funding, adding headcount, social and community impact, product launches, company pivots and company growth.
Fire honorees can include later-stage tech pillars, growth-stage startups, ecosystem builders, accelerators, venture firms, meetup groups and nonprofits. If your company or organization is on fire, submit a nomination. Self-nominations are accepted and welcomed.
Companies must be headquartered in Kentucky or the Southern Indiana counties of Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Scott, Jefferson or Washington.
The bottom line: Tell us a story. We are looking for quantifiable results and a compelling narrative to share with our readers. Got questions? Reach out to me at hcawthon@bizjournals.com.
