ENTREPRENEUR AWARDS

Entrepreneurs are responsible for innovative products, ideas and services. They shape our technology, experiences and interactions. The Entrepreneur Awards celebrate businesses in Frederick County who excel in conquering new ground. We celebrate these achievements at the Entrepreneur Council Awards Dinner.
​​
In 2017, we celebrated eleven local businesses for their entrepreneurial spirit and contribution to the local economy. From business owners under age 18, to college students, to emerging and established businesses of all sizes, your innovation and dedication make Frederick County great!  Stay tuned for information on our next Entrepreneur Council Awards Dinner.
