The Top 100 Awards Dealer Awards Submission Period is Now Open

The submission period for the annual Top 100 Dealer Awards is now open. Now in its 11th year, the annual awards honor retailers who demonstrate exceptional commitment to their stores, neighborhoods, and customers and share in a vision of creating a more musical world through their local communities.

This year's celebration, along with the announcement of "Best of" and "Dealer of the Year" awards, will be held at Summer NAMM in Nashville on Thursday, July 15. "Best of" award categories include "Best Community Retail Store;" "Best Customer Service;" "Best Store Design;" "Best Marketing and Sales Promotion;" "Best Online Engagement;" "Innovation Award;" and the "Music Makes a Difference Award." All submissions will be evaluated for effectiveness in marketing, customer engagement, and innovation in retail by a panel of independent judges. From the finalists of these categories, one store will be recognized with the coveted "Dealer of the Year" Award.

The submission period for the awards will close on April 23, 2021. For information about the Top 100 Awards or to enter, please visit namm.org/summer/2021/top-dealer-awards.
