Nominations opened on November 1st for the 2025 Chrony Awards.

The Chrony Awards, an annual contest organized by The Chronicle Chronicle, will honor one non-profit and one for-profit business in the Chronicle area. Readers will have the opportunity to nominate and vote on eligible businesses that have had a positive impact on the local community.

Nominations will remain open until the 20th of November. Members of the community are encouraged to nominate their favorite stores, restaurants, charities, or any other eligible organizations. The online forums for nominations and voting can be found on the Chronicle’s website, under the Awards tab, or clicking this link.

Nominees must have a brick-and-mortar location within a three mile radius of Killian Crossroads (the intersection of NC-150 and NC-16) and be in good standing with the local population. The eligible area includes the majority of Old Town Denver.

Voting will begin on November 21st and end on December 10th. The recipients of the most votes in their respective categories will be awarded with trophies by The Chronicle Chronicle on behalf of the Chronicle community. Winners will be announced on New Year’s Day 2026.
