How “Best of” Works

  • Step 01

    Nominate your Favorite Local Business

    Your favorite has to be in it to win it! You can nominate a business once per category every 24 hours. Every nominations counts!

  • Step 02

    Vote & Spread the Word

    The top 15-18 nominees advance to the official ballot and voting. You may vote for a business once per category every 24 hours. The difference between victory and defeat may only be a few votes. Make sure your favorite gets recognized. Share the contest and encourage your friends and neighbors to share their voice.

  • Step 03

    The People's Choice Wins

    Each category has one local winner, and where applicable one national winner, determined by the most votes. We’ll announce winners online as well as in our comprehensive winners guides. Keep an eye out for Best of winners’ banners and plaques in your favorite local spots.
