There are three additional awards that are decided through different processes: The Business of the Year and Business Leader of the Year Awards are chosen by the independent MJBEX judges from the overall field.
Finally, the People's Choice Award winner is selected by customers through an open online poll the week before the awards gala.
An account must be created for online submissions, which must include all required supporting materials and a JPEG or PNG logo image file for the nominated business.
The MJBEX Awards are open to all businesses, except Crown Corporations and the City of Moose Jaw. To be eligible for a category, the nominee must not have won an MJBEX Award in that category in the previous two years.
