Celebrating Local Excellence

‍

At Best of the City Awards, recognition is more than a title. It is a powerful way for businesses to gain visibility, build credibility, and connect with their communities. Each year, we highlight top-performing businesses in cities across the country, celebrating those who set the standard for excellence in their industries.

‍

How It Works

‍

1. Nomination and Participation

Every year, we invite the public and our partner network to nominate exceptional local businesses. Nominees are contacted directly and can secure their place on the official city ballot with a simple entry confirmation. Once registered, each participant receives a dedicated voting profile and a digital recognition badge to share with customers and followers.

‍

2. Community Voting

We believe in the power of community voice. During the voting period, each participating business promotes its unique voting link, encouraging customers, family, and supporters to cast their votes. This grassroots engagement not only drives brand awareness but also builds authentic community connection.

‍

3. Recognition and Results

When voting concludes, winners are selected based on verified community results. Every recognized business—whether nominated, finalist, or winner—earns visibility on our official Best of the City Awards platform. Winners receive a digital certificate and a feature article highlighting their achievement.

Why It Matters

What our clients say

Don't just take our word for it, see what the awesome people we work with have to say.

"Being part of the Best of the City Awards brought incredible visibility to our local shop. Customers mentioned seeing us on the ballot and online features, and it really strengthened our reputation in the community. It’s more than an award, it’s recognition that means something to our city."

Lena Morales, Owner

The Willow Boutique

"The media package transformed how we present our brand. The video team captured our story beautifully, and the final edits looked like something out of a professional commercial. We’ve used the footage everywhere (from our website to social media) and it’s brought in new clients who said they found us through our award feature."

Derrick Hill, Founder

Apex Fitness Studio

"After winning, we qualified for their partnership deals, and we weren’t expecting how much value that would add. The marketing support kept our brand consistent and visible, and the merchant services partnership helped us lower costs. It turned our award recognition into real, ongoing growth for our business."
