If you are looking to nominate a company, the application process is pretty clear-cut: Tell turnstone why you believe the business is incredible.
But keep in mind, not just any company can be in the running. The business needs be under 10-years-old, have less than 100 employers and self-nominations are not permitted. So, if you are an employee of the company you can't vote. Instead, get your friends, family and business associates to tell turnstone about its kick-ass perks.
Submissions will be accepted until August 23. After the cutoff date, a panel of judges including Ernest & Young Entrepreneurial Winning Women Katie Johnston, Lesa Mitchell of the Kauffman Foundation, Professor of management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania Peter Cappelli, CEO of UP Global Marc Nager and general manager of turnstone Kevin Kuske will determine the winner in each category.
