Best of the Best 2023 - Top 5

VOTE AS THE “BEST PODIATRIC PRACTICE IN FREDERICK!”

It’s time to pick the winners!

FrederickNewsPost.com/BOB.

HOW TO VOTE

The Top 5 in each category are listed in alphabetical order, as opposed to number of votes received in the last voting round, so the contest begins with a clean slate. You may vote once per day in each category going to FrederickNewsPost.com/BOB and clicking the link at the top. Last year, we had some pretty closely contested races, so be sure to show your favorites some love by voting daily. Bob and Freddie are super excited, so make sure to let all your neighbors, friends and family know they can vote by sharing on social media and by email right through the voting website.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

After voting closes on Tuesday, Oct. 10 we’ll tally the ballots. The contestant that gets the most votes in their category will be declared the winner, and those with the second and third most votes will be

named finalists, in no specific order. If there is a tie, we’ll announce both when we publish the winners and finalists in another special publication and online at FrederickNewsPost.com/BOB on Nov. 15.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

The Best of the Best contest is designed to highlight locally owned and operated business here in Frederick. In some categories, we allow entrants from adjacent counties and from national chains. You can learn all about this in the Q&A section at FrederickNews Post.com/special/best_of_the_best/about.

Still have questions? Email us at Bob@newspost.com.
