Dallas Market Center has launched the second annual The Next Big Give contest, a search for retailers who give back in their communities.

"It's amazing to see the many different ways retailers are serving others and their communities," said Cindy Morris, COO of Dallas Market Center. "Last year's winners inspired us, as well as other retailers. We look forward to hearing more stories of generosity."
 
Ten finalists will be announced on Jan. 9, and two winners on Feb. 14. Winners will receive a complimentary trip to March Market in Dallas (March 22-25), including round-trip airfare from anywhere in the continental United States and three nights' hotel stay. 
 
While at Market, The Next Big Give winners will be recognized during The Inspired Event, a cocktail party benefiting a charitable cause. The winners will share their stories of giving back in hopes to inspire other retailers to do the same. 
 
Retailers may nominate themselves or be nominated by a manufacturer, a sales representative or customer. The application is available here. Deadline for applications is Dec. 9.
 
The contest is open to specialty retailers operating their stores in the continental U.S. The finalists and winners will be selected by a panel of industry experts and Dallas Market Center representatives. For additional information on the contest visit
