Coming Soon
Best of the South Valley opens with a write-in nomination round. You, your friends, customers, and supporters go to the online ballot and enter your name for the appropriate categories. After nominations close, we take a week to count the number of nominations for each entrant. Top nominations advance to the final round.
Readers vote between finalists in each category. You may vote up to one time per day in each category. When the finals close on February 28th, we start counting the winners, which are announced on March 13th.
The best way to win is to campaign. Most nominees will need to muster their loyal customers, friends, family (and maybe even their kooky aunts) to support them. Basically, this is a great platform to get the word out and garner some grassroots support for your business.
Winners will receive Best of the South Valley campaign assets to drop in your own images and use on social media, flyers, posters, and more. That’s all the help we can give you. Good luck out there.
1. Nomination round: Nominations are open Friday, January 9th through Saturday, January 31st.
2. Finals: Finalists voting in each category opens Monday, February 2nd through Saturday, February 28th.
3. Winners: Winners will be announced on Friday, March 13th and published in our April issue!
