Nominate your favorite South Lake Tahoe businesses for Blue Ribbon Award

From quality shopping, accommodations, media, recreation and dining options to the myriad service providers and businesses, the Blue Ribbon Awards honor all that business should be. This important awards program salutes those businesses that are making significant contributions to the South Shore economy.

Each year, TahoeChamber solicits nominations in the six key categories that represent the breadth of business on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe.

The categories are:
