Best of Alaska is an opportunity for Alaskans to recognize their favorite local businesses and services. From bands to realtors and everything in between, we let you tell us who does it the best. Each year The Anchorage Daily News collects and tallies nominations, then shares this exclusive list in December for winners to celebrate and local folks to reference when they are looking for the Best of Alaska. Thank you to all who took the time to nominate their favorite locals and congratulations to the winners!
Q. Are the results really real? Or do you tweak them? Does advertising have any influence on what gets awarded?
Q. Have you ever thought of running an initial round of voting then a 2nd round of runoss?
A. The results are really real; in many cases, they're not what we might have chosen at all if we did editor’s picks. And, no, our advertising department holds no sway over the winners (they do know who placed in the Top 3, however.) Any and all businesses are welcome and able to purchase ad spaces in the voting polls, but voters can still write in whatever business they deem ‘The Best of Alaska.’
A. Yes, and it’s something we will likely implement for 2021 voting. Many other publications around the country run their Best Of contests that way. With this new change, we will have an initial nomination period (which is just like our current voting period, giving readers the opportunity to write-in whatever businesses they choose), and we will then take the most “written-in” businesses in that category to include them in the true voting period.
Q. Do people try to cheat? How do you prevent it? A. Yes, they do. And we have our ways. Q. Can people vote more than once? A. Yes, you can vote once per week, per category.
Q. Why don't you have a category for ________ ? A. We switch up categories every year, putting in new ones and dropping some old ones. If you want to make the case for a specific category for next year's ballot, drop an email to our events team at bestofalaska@adn.com.
The 2020 Winners will also be listed on adnbestofalaska.com. If community mandates allow us to safely do so, our 5th Annual Best of Alaska Showcase will be taking place later in 2021. Check our website for updates: adnbestofalaska.com.

They relocated a beautiful dining/banquet/party room to the corner of Old Seward and 76th, welcoming the Main Event Bar this January. Their success is a result of their “wow” culture in everything from award-winning craft burgers and garlic fries to unique custom catering services — earning the title “Alaska’s Best Caterer” 4 years in a row.
