Nominate: Other awards (2018)

Every year, we ask our readers to nominate companies and individuals for honors in categories including Lifetime Achievement in Business and Entrepreneur of the Year.

Each nominee is put through a stringent independent judging process. The top three finalists are profiled in the special publication in July, with the winner in each category announced at the annual banquet. The culmination of the evening is the announcement of the annual Lifetime Achievement in Business honoree, also selected by the outside judging panel.

The 2017 categories and selected honorees are:

    •    Lifetime Achievement in Business: Robert Low, Prime Inc.
    •    Philanthropic Business of the Year: Hamra Enterprises
   
•    Business Advocate of the Year: Missouri Association of Manufacturers
    •    Community Involvement Champion: Robert Roberts of Second Baptist Church
    •    Entrepreneur of the Year: Paul Allen, founder of Farm2Counter Inc.
    •    Charitable Nonprofit of the Year: The Child Advocacy Center Inc.

Economic Impact honors also will be announced in three categories based on years in business. Finalists, in alphabetical order, are:
