The Tulsey Awards

We recognize the vital importance of entrepreneurs to influence our quality of life, impact Tulsa’s economic strength and inspire us to reach for something more. The Tulsey Awards are designed to engage the citizenry of the Tulsa Metro region in a unique entrepreneurial awards celebration.

The sixth annual Tulsey Awards recognize the entrepreneurial visionaries, game changers and rule breakers of the Tulsa Metro region. If you know of an entrepreneur, or are an entrepreneur yourself, who represents a symbol of entrepreneurial excellence, please consider  nominating him/her under one of the ten Tulsey Awards categories: Civic, Emerging, Entertainment, Executive of the Year, Green, Interactive, Restaurateur, Serial, Service Provider of the Year, and Young. All entrepreneurs included in the public voting process will automatically be entered into the Entrepreneur of the Year category.

 

On November 21, 2013, The Tulseys will recognize and celebrate ten inspirational Tulsa entrepreneurs, along with a special appearance from the winner of the 2013 TCC StartUp Cup Powered by the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation, at the world-famous Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame.

 

The Tulsey Awards celebration is the climax event of the 2013 Tulsa Global Entrepreneurship Week. You will not want to miss this MTV Music- and Webby Awards-inspired celebration. Plan to attend November 21, 2013, from 7-10 p.m.
