Since 1974, the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce has recognized businesses in the New Ulm area for their Chamber involvement, community involvement and economic impact. Chamber members were asked to nominate businesses for this award. The Chamber Board of Directors reviewed all nominations and selected the top 3 nominees in each category. The Chamber Membership voted from those nominees to choose New Ulm's Large & Small 2025 Business of the Year winners.
