READERS CHOICE 2017
Index
This year, we expanded to include over 90 categories (up from more than 60 last year!). Anyone was eligible to vote for as many categories as they pleased. All voting was done online this year, and we had 10,603 people
cast over 110,000 votes.We started this contest five years ago as a way for our
community to recognize their favorite businesses in a variety of categories. Every year we have had overwhelming response from the local community and businesses. In fact, we’ve been so inundated with votes, we changed up the process this year to try to smooth things out, and implemented a nomination period.
Running from the end of May through the middle of June, readers had a chance to nominate their favorite businesses in every category. Businesses needed to be nominated at least 20 times to be included on the final ballot. Once the final ballot was compiled, community members were able to vote a second time, and from that final round of voting, winners and finalists were determined.
There was such a great response to this new system, we plan on doing it again next year. However, we feel a name change is in order to better reflect this new process, along with recognizing all voters. So, starting in 2018, the Reader’s Choice Contest will be called Best of the Best.
Due to the additional prestige of making it through two rounds of voting, we are proud to offer a Reader’s Choice banquet for winners and finalists. This provides an opportunity for businesses to recognize their employees for the good work they do throughout the year, and includes a gourmet meal, drinks, live entertainment, and an awards ceremony.
Want your own business to be listed next year? Ask your customers, clients, and friends to nominate you to be on the final ballot. Missing your favorite business this year? Make sure you nominate them next year when the time comes.
We are proud to continue to showcase some of the best businesses our community has to offer.
The votes have been cast, and we have your winners!
