It’s that time of year, friends! The special time where business professionals forsake shame and whorishly ask everyone they know to log into a special window and place a check next to their likely undeserving business in a local popularity contest.

Here at the Murfreesboro Tribune, we feel an obligation to use our influence to provide insight into the quality of local businesses. And by that, we mean that we feel an obligation to make up some awards to exploit the selfish nature of business, hock them to the community as something legitimate, and snake out as much ad money as we can get from this community-serving process.

Please use the form below to submit your nominations for the 2016 Tribbies Awards. The categories for Tribbies Awards are listed below. To submit a nomination, simply type in your name and email address, the category for your nomination, and the nomination itself. You can write-in categories if you do not see your preferred category listed below .
