How to Submit a Winning Nomination for the SBA National Small Business Week Awards

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) lists an online Michigan service webinar on October 26, 2026, noon–12:30pm EDT: How to Submit a Winning Nomination for the SBA National Small Business Week Awards. The official host is SBA; organizer Anthony Lewis and past winner Tiffany Klingensmith are listed. Use the official event page’s Register option and confirm any updates there. No separate registration link or registration deadline is supplied here.

The session covers award categories, requirements and preparation. Before preparing a nomination, read the official rules for your chosen category: eligibility and required materials are category-specific. Submissions must be in English. Do not assume that attending the webinar makes a business eligible or guarantees selection.

A practical preparation checklist: - Identify the applicable award category and review its eligibility requirements. - List the documents, evidence and permissions requested in the current official instructions. - Prepare accurate supporting information and check it against those requirements. - Review the official submission process and confirm the destination before sending anything.

The awards nomination deadline is December 7, 2026 at 3pm EST. This is the awards deadline, not a webinar registration deadline, and the opportunity is not a grant-funding offer. Check the awards rules for changes before submitting. After the webinar date, this explanation remains dated educational context, not an upcoming-event listing. The original publication date is unknown; the source was checked October 24, 2026.
