Call for Applications: 2026 Greater Rochester Chamber Top 100 Awards
May 25, 2026 (ROCHESTER, NY) – Greater Rochester Chamber has issued a call for applications for its 2026 Top 100 Awards program, celebrating the fastest growing privately-owned businesses headquartered in the Greater Rochester region. Greater Rochester Chamber has presented these awards annually since 1987.
Presented by Greater Rochester Chamber in partnership with KPMG LLP and ESL Federal Credit Union, the Top 100 Awards celebrate our region’s long history as a hub of innovation, fueled by a robust entrepreneurial ethos. Rankings are determined based on revenue growth over the three most recent fiscal years, considering both the actual dollar figures and the percentage growth achieved. All revenue details will be reviewed exclusively by KPMG LLP and kept strictly confidential. Companies honored on the list will receive exclusive promotional opportunities and recognition of their exceptional growth.
A list of Top 100 companies will be provided in alphabetical order in August, and the rankings will be revealed at a special 40th anniversary ceremony on Thursday, November 5, 2026. With over 1,800 guests expected to attend, this ceremony is one of the biggest celebrations of business success, growth, and innovation each year – for companies being honored, and for their partners, customers, and vendors.
Interested companies can apply online by Friday, June 19, 2026. The application and further information on eligibility, submission requirements and more is available on Greater Rochester Chamber’s website: https://my.greaterrochesterchamber.com/form/Fill/Lvq8EcmP
