Nomination Process
Service providers who have worked for a minimum of two years in a customer service position are eligible to be nominated. Nominees must spend the majority of their time on the job interacting with customers. One award will be presented in each of the following categories:
- Dining
- Lodging
- Nightlife
- Transportation
- Retail & Service
- Attractions/Events
Nominations will be accepted from both employers and guests from December 31 – December 31, 1969. A maximum of three individuals may be nominated from each business. Nomination forms may be submitted online or printed and sent in.
Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and recognized at the Impacting Hospitality Celebration on December 31, 1969. Employers, nominees and guests are all encouraged to attend this event.
Sponsors
The WAVE Awards will also rely on sponsors to be a true success. Many sponsorship opportunities are available, and all local businesses are invited to visit our sponsorship page for more information.
