Why we're doing this
Some businesses give more than they get back.
You know the ones. The coffee shop that remembers your order. The repair shop that squeezed you in. The little store whose owner knows your kids by name and somehow keeps the lights on through sheer heart and hustle.
They're the reason Stony Plain and Spruce Grove feel like home. Very often, they're also the businesses with no website, or one that hasn't been touched since flip phones were cool, because every spare dollar and minute goes back into their customers.
We've built websites for this community for over 15 years, and we wanted to give something back in the way we know best. So this Christmas, we're putting two of those businesses in the spotlight they've earned. And we're letting you decide who they are.

Answers & details
A few things you
might be wondering.
Everything you need to know about nominating, voting and winning.
The giveaway
01Is there a catch?
Nope. No purchase, no fees, no fine print hiding a bill. The website, the first year of hosting and care, the domain and the graphics are all on us.
02What happens after the first year?
Hosting, care and domain renewal continue at our regular rates if the winner wants to stay with us (and we hope they do!). If they'd rather move on, we'll help them transfer. We'll reach out at least 30 days before anything renews, so there are no surprises.
03The business already has a website. Can they still win?
Absolutely. If their current site isn't doing them justice, that's exactly who this is for. We'll keep their existing domain and build them something new.
04What if the winning business needs e-commerce or something fancy?
The prize is our Signature package. If a winner needs extras like an online store or advanced integrations, we'll quote those separately at a community discount. There's no obligation.
Nominations & voting
05Can I nominate a business in the other town?
Yes! Stony Plain and Spruce Grove residents can nominate and vote for businesses in either town. There will still be one winner in each.
06Can I nominate more than one business?
You can nominate one business per town, so up to two nominations in total.
07Do more nominations mean a better chance?
They help. The number of nominations is one of the things our panel looks at when choosing finalists, along with the stories people share and how much a new website would help the business.
08Does the business know they've been nominated?
Not unless you tell them (and feel free to!). We contact every finalist privately before announcing them, and no business is named publicly without agreeing first.

- Nominator and voter eligibilityOpen to individuals 18 years of age or older. Each person may submit one nomination per town and cast one vote per town, using one valid email address. Employees of Alchemy Nexus companies may promote the Contest but may not vote.
- Business eligibilityNominated businesses must meet the eligibility requirements listed in the "Who can be nominated" section of this page. The Organizer may verify eligibility and may disqualify any business that does not meet the requirements.
02Selection & votingFinalist selection, verified votes and ties
- Finalist selectionThe Organizer will review all eligible nominations and select up to five (5) finalists per town. Selection considers the number of nominations received, the content of the nominations and the potential impact of a new website. Each finalist must confirm in writing that they accept finalist status and agree to these rules before being publicly announced. The Organizer's decisions on finalists are final.
- VotingA vote counts only once confirmed through the email verification link. Automated, scripted, purchased or duplicate votes, and votes from disposable or fake email addresses, will be removed. The Organizer may disqualify any finalist whose votes it reasonably believes were obtained fraudulently. If there is a tie, the Organizer's review panel will choose the winner.
03Prizes & deliveryPrize scope, winner obligations and year-one renewals
- PrizesTwo (2) prizes will be awarded: one to a business in Stony Plain and one to a business in Spruce Grove. Each prize includes the Signature Website Package, twelve (12) months of Managed Hosting + Care, one (1) year of domain registration (subject to availability; not applicable where the business already holds a domain) and a Social Media Graphics Package (custom cover and profile graphics). Approximate retail value is over $6,000 CAD per prize. Prizes have no cash value and cannot be transferred, substituted or exchanged.
- Prize scopePrize work is delivered as described in the Signature package at the time of the Contest. Features outside that scope (for example, e-commerce, memberships or third-party integrations) are not included and can be quoted separately. Paid third-party costs not listed above (for example, premium plugins, stock photography beyond what's included, or paid booking software) are the winner's responsibility.
- Winner obligationsEach winner agrees to take part in a project kickoff and to provide content (text, logos, photos and business details) within thirty (30) days of kickoff. If a winner cannot be reached or does not take part for sixty (60) days, the Organizer may award the prize to the runner-up in that town.
- After year oneAfter the first twelve (12) months, hosting, care and domain renewal continue at the Organizer's then-current published rates only if the winner chooses to continue. The Organizer will notify the winner at least thirty (30) days before any renewal. A winner who does not renew may transfer their website and domain to another provider, and the Organizer will provide reasonable help with the transfer.
