The shortlist for the best and brightest in the city's business world is out.
The Prince George Chamber of Commerce released the list of semi-finalists in 11 categories for its annual Business Excellence Awards Thursday.
The Citizen has made it onto the ballot in two categories for its inaugural Northern FanCon event and for Business of the Year. Voting will be available to chamber members beginning next week for 10 categories. The Hell Yeah Prince George ambassador award winner is selected through an online vote.
