For more than 25 years, Loudoun County residents have looked forward to participating in the Best of Loudoun contest to support their favorite local businesses, organizations, people and attractions, in hundreds of categories. It’s the biggest contest of its kind in Loudoun County, with hundreds of thousands of votes cast annually.
The BOL contest has become the most coveted local readers’ choice recognition for local businesses and organizations, because it has such broad public participation – and because it is conducted transparently and without special favor to advertisers or incumbents. In the Loudoun Times Best of Loudoun contest, every nominee is treated exactly the same – readers are the ones who decide.
How the contest works
The contest proceeds in three phases – a nomination phase, a first round of voting and a final round of voting.
1. Nomination round: The contest starts with a nomination round, where readers can propose business, organizations and names for all of the categories, including new categories. This keeps the contest fresh, as new businesses and organizations come to the county and as existing ones change and grow.
2. First voting round: In the first voting round, readers vote to winnow the big list of nominees down to just the Top Five in each category.
3. Final voting round: The excitement builds with voting on the Top Five businesses, organizations and attractions in each category! This round determines the winner and two finalists in each category.
