How It Works
The Community's Choice Awards, also known as the Best Of... Awards, are conducted by Gannett/USA Today Network media. They celebrate the best businesses and organizations in the area. During a two phase process, the community is, first, invited to nominate businesses in many different segments of business, entertainment, real estate, financial institutes, and even cheese curds. Then, the top five nominated organizations move on to the final voting rounds.
