The Blue Ribbon Awards were created in 2007 by the Tahoe Chamber to honor excellence in business on the South Shore. This awards program recognizes businesses, organizations, and individuals for achievements, community contributions, and milestones. It is one of the largest business awards program on the South Shore bringing together over 300 local business leaders, entrepreneurs, organizations, and government officials.

Each year, Tahoe Chamber solicits nominations in the seven key categories that represent the breadth of business on the South Shore. Each nomination is carefully considered by the Blue Ribbon Awards Task Force and after weighting each nomination against the award criteria.
