There are great snowmobile dealerships throughout Illinois! It takes more than just selling a lot of sleds to make a great dealership–its true dedication to the sport and the customers they serve that make them stand out above the rest. Each season the IASC sponsors a Dealer of the Year program intended to recognize an Illinois dealership that is involved and active at all levels, customer, organization, and overall total support of snowmobiling. The IASC winner is submitted to the ACSA competition for Snowmobile Dealer of the Year where dealers from all 27 snowmobile states are judged. The ACSA Dealer of the Year is announced at the annual International Snowmobile Congress held in June.
The IASC Dealer of the Year is featured in the September issue of the Illinois Snowmobiler. They will be invited guests to the annual IASC Convention Banquet in November, at which time they will receive a recognition award.
Nominations may be submitted by IASC member snowmobile clubs or individual IASC/Club members. The following OFFICIAL NOMINATION FORM MUST BE USED. All nominations should include a cover letter offering some insight into why you feel your nominee should be chosen and pictures supporting your nominee. Also include the nominee’s full name, address, a description of the nominee and their contributions to snowmobiling, as well as an explanation as to why these contributions are particularly noteworthy.
