Nominated companies will receive an official entry form from the BBB. An independent panel of judges will decide the award finalists and recipients. Winners will be announced at the BBB's 2012 Integrity Awards ceremony in October. Winners will also be eligible to compete for the National BBB Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics.
