What are The Kenney Awards?
So you’ve experienced the Grammys and the Emmys, but are you ready for the Kenneys?
The Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the Kenney Awards! The Kenney, named for the region we hail from, will be awarded annually to area businesses and professionals that are deserving of our attention and recognition.
The 2024 Kenney Awards will be held on January 26, 2024
at the Augusta Civic Center with the Cocktail hour starting at 5:00pm
$80 per person | $640 per table
Only a few tickets left! Email to reserve!
The Kenneys will recognize six awardees; The Peter G. Thompson Lifetime Achievement, Large Business of the Year, The Special Service Award, President's Circle Award, Community Service, and the CYNERGY Professional Award. You are guaranteed to feel like a star from the moment you arrive and step onto our very own red carpet—from the ‘paparazzi’ snapping pictures of your grand entrance into the awards ceremony to the custom-designed Kenney award—this will be the formal affair of the season.
The winners of the The Peter G. Thompson Lifetime Achievement, Large Business of the Year, and The Special Service Award will be announced prior to the ceremony and the remaining awards will be chosen via live voting from 3 nominees during the show. The formal announcement of the nominees and winners will be in the December issue of the Business Insider. This event is the premier opportunity for the Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce to highlight and celebrate the success in our community.
Live Voting!
Voting has always been reserved for the second Tuesday of November or television singing competitions, but not anymore! The Kenneys are breaking the mold and introducing live voting to not just your average award show, but the Kenney Awards! Each guest will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist in three of our award-winning categories: Community Service, CYNERGY Professional, and President's Circle. There will be a brief video presentation of the three finalists in each category to help you decide. Voting is simple - simply register your cell phone and send a text when prompted. Only one vote per cell phone is allowed per category. After the votes have been calculated, the winners of each category will be announced right then and there!
Thank you to our 2024 Sponsors!
