      There are three categories, each with a prize worth up to $20,000. 

      Categories

      Doing Good

      We’re recognizing businesses who know that doing good is good for business. These businesses have gone above and beyond in their focus on the good. These businesses pride themselves on supporting others, making communities stronger and investing in a better Canada.

      Marketing Magic

      These businesses are investing in marketing to strengthen and support their business’ growth now, and into the future. Be it a first campaign, a new focus on social or their business going viral, they are growing their voice, awareness and presence.

      Rising Stars

      We want to recognize businesses that have launched over the past two years and have gone from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye – be it an online business, a bricks and mortar location, or anything in between. They’ve found their groove and are carving out a place for themselves in the small business community.

      Prize packages

      Each category will have five finalists. There will be one grand prize winner per category. You could win prizes up to $20,000, including credits for Canada Post Parcel and Smartmail MarketingTM services, marketing support for your business and national exposure.

      From July 5th through 31st, Canadians and Canada Post employees had the opportunity to vote for two additional winners among the 15 finalists. One finalist will be named the Canada’s Choice winner and one finalist will be named the Employees’ Choice winner.
