AWG presents yearly Excellence Awards to retailers and community leaders for their individual and often unique efforts.
The purpose of these awards is to recognize retailers and community leaders who have demonstrated innovative, creative, and thought-provoking ideas, as well as to challenge others to identify new opportunities.
Every AWG member is eligible for an Excellence Award, regardless of store size, location, or length of time with AWG. Throughout the year we encourage stores to share their success stories so that we can recognize those members who demonstrate merchandising expertise.
