Below please find a list of commonly asked questions. If your question is not listed below please reach out to [email protected].

How do I get my business included?

You can nominate your business for its relevant categories here. You can, and should, encourage friends, family, and patrons to nominate your business and all of your favorite places across the triangle area.

I am interested in advertising in one of these special editions, what should I do?

Advertising rates and placements can be requested from your indy sales rep or by emailing [email protected].

How can I promote my business in this contest?

Use your newsletters, social media, and other customer facing channels to promote both your nomination and vote. Links to creatives can be found here, and the link to vote can be found here.

I am interested in sponsoring the Best Of Readers Poll.

Please reach out to [email protected] for more information.

Are there scams that I should be aware of?

Businesses that made it onto the finalist ballot will likely receive phishing attempts via whatever public-facing communication channel you use. Any offer to sell you a plaque, poster, sign or any other “Best of the Triangle”-related product should be handled as a scam. INDY Week provides window decals to all finalists, and winners receive a poster to proudly display. If you are a previous finalist or winner and have not received these for previous years, please contact [email protected].

I won in a past year but never received my sticker.

Please contact [email protected] with your business’ name and the year that you won.

I want to make sure that I receive updates on Best of the Triangle.

You can sign up for Best of announcements throughout the year here.
