Common Questions
Is this a raffle?
No. The OBO Impact Award is a merit-based recognition program. The more you engage, grow, and contribute, the more entries you earn. Every entry is tied to a real business action.
How is the winner selected?
Each Impact Point you earn equals one entry. At the Annual Conference, entries are drawn live on stage. More points = more chances — but every active member has a shot.
What's in the prize pool?
The prize pool grows throughout the year from sponsor contributions, OBO funding, and community-driven milestones. Past pools have included cash, marketing packages, premium memberships, and exclusive exposure.
Can I track my progress?
Yes! Your Impact Score and tier are visible right here on this page when you're signed in. Leaderboards update regularly so you can see where you stand.
Does this work across cities?
Absolutely. The Impact Award is designed to scale. Members in every OBO city earn points the same way, and city-level leaderboards add local bragging rights.
