Introducing the HootBiz 2026 Biz Person of the Year Contest!

Local business awards are a highlight of the year for small and local business owners. They give customers a reason to celebrate the businesses they love, and they give owners real proof of the trust they’ve earned. Now we’re bringing that tradition to HootBiz, built just for the small businesses on our platform.

Enrolled businesses receive:

• A nominee, finalist, or winner’s badge on their HootBiz profile that every visitor sees
• A badge you can easily share on your website and in your marketing
• A spotlight on HootBiz.com
• A symbol of recognition and trust from both voters on HootBiz and your own community
