Five Categories to Showcase Your Chamber’s Excellence
This year’s competition features five categories that highlight the breadth and creativity of chamber initiatives worldwide:
1. Best Chamber Innovation Project
This category recognizes chambers that have embraced the Chamber Model Innovation (CMI) framework or leveraged artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovation, enhance operational effectiveness, and deliver unparalleled value to members and stakeholders.
2. Best Out-of-the-Box Project
Does your chamber have a project that redefines what chambers can achieve? This category honors unique and groundbreaking initiatives in activities outside the chamber's traditional mission that have boosted job creation and bolstered local economies.
3. Best Green Transition Project
Sustainability matters more than ever. This category highlights chambers that are advancing the green transition through innovative technologies, strategic partnerships, policy interventions, or community-driven approaches. Show how your project is reducing pollution, preserving natural resources, and supporting economic prosperity.
4. Best Collaboration of Chambers, Business, and Government Project
Collaboration is key to success. This category acknowledges projects where chambers have joined forces with government and businesses to drive economic growth, solve pressing challenges, or build sustainable systems.
5. Best Diversity and Inclusion Project
Diversity is strength. This category celebrates chambers that are leading the way in fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion. Whether your project promotes gender equality, supports displaced people, or champions inclusivity in other dimensions, we want to hear your story.
