On Thursday, November 9, the inaugural Local First Awards will kick off at Blind Whino SW Arts Club. This exciting evening brings the city together in support of local businesses and artists for a uniquely-DC celebration. The awards, a Think Local First DC initiative, spotlights the most impactful local independent businesses, entrepreneurs, and artists in DC.
The evening will kick off with the presentation of awards in 7 exciting categories including:

Builder – A local community developer, investor, or lender with deep roots in the community and known for positive investments in DC’s people, culture, and future.
Pioneer – A local business, entrepreneur, or artist who inspires with a creative new idea, product, perspective, model and/or solution.
Community Champion – A local business owner who makes a significant and noticeable
