2024 Business Growth Awards

The Vancouver Business Journal is excited to announce the 19th annual Business Growth Awards event, May 2024! We are excited to be able to recognize the exceptional growing businesses in Southwest Washington with a reception and awards ceremony.

After many businesses suffered losses and attrition during the pandemic, we saw more and more businesses grow, expand, and become increasingly profitable in the last few years. We can’t wait to see what 2023 brought and recognize all those amazing businesses.

The Vancouver Business Journal’s annual Business Growth Awards program recognizes start-ups and growing businesses in Southwest Washington. Join us in celebrating and encouraging business growth in our region. The Awards are open to businesses located in Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania counties.

Since its inception in 2005, hundreds of businesses — including local branches of national corporations, locally headquartered international companies, sole proprietors, and family-owned businesses, as well as single-location, privately held retailers — have been recognized and honored.

Fastest growing businesses are recognized in three categories: in business 1 to 5 years; 6 to 10 years; and in business more than 10 years. Additionally, we recognize a start-up business, innovator of the year and a nonprofit organization. All entries are confidentially reviewed by a panel of experts. Submitted information is based on growth, year over year(s) comparison example 2022 v. 2023.
