  • Code of Conduct  — Adherence to the WFCA Code of Conduct.

In addition, companies must also be members of the WFCA, have been in business for at least 3 years, and have favorable Better Business Bureau reports.

The winner of this year’s award will receive a $5,000.00 check, a Gold Standard Trophy, press recognition and a customized WFCA seal for their store entrance.

To enter, applicants must complete the submission form and present multimedia marketing materials and other documents, all of which will be factored into the review process.
