The nomination form can be found on the town’s website or you can pick up a copy at the Chamber of Commerce or Town Hall. However, Babineau says if you’re not chosen in this competition, you still have a chance in nationwide contest.

In either contest you have to explain why you or the person you’re nominating is a perfect candidate to represent Huntsville.
