Our vision is to make West Des Moines the best suburban city in America to live, work, and play and now is the time to show pride in our vibrant community.

AWARD RULES:
Fifty business categories are highlighted and the community is encouraged to vote on your favorite. You don?t have to live in WDM to vote and you can vote every day. To win and be recognized, you need to have a WDM address or be a WDM Chamber member. Winners receive a wall plaque to showcase proudly and a special logo to showcase on your website. Voting is open from October 24 ? November 19. Winners will be announced November 29 - December 3. There will be a special happy hour that winners can attend to pick up their award.
