SBA Form 3300 Award Nominee Background Form
What Is SBA Form 3300?
SBA Form 3300, Award Nominee Background Form is a document used to provide general information about each person nominated for a Small Business Administration (SBA) Award. The document is used as a part of the nomination package used for electing nominees. The list of additional forms required for a specific award for the current year can be found in the annually-updated National Small Business Week Award Nominations Guidelines.
The SBA released the latest version of the form on September 1, 2017 , with all previous editions obsolete. An up-to-date SBA Form 3300 fillable version is available for digital filing and download below or can be found through the SBA website. The form must be completed by each individual, each team member (for team nominees) or by the official representative of a small business nominated for an award.
