Best of Omaha Voting: July 1-Aug. 20
Omaha Magazine values your opinion. That is why we started a contest that allows you, the public, to vote on your favorite places in Omaha. Since 1992, our Best of Omaha contest has been a fun event. It started with categories such as “Best Place to Buy Cassette Tapes.” (Does anyone remember those?) Through the years, the contest has grown, and with it, the number of voters has grown. Please welcome our sponsors, KETV and Walnut Media, owner of 1492 Boomer Radio and KCRO. In order to become a “Best of Omaha,” restaurants, retailers, and businesses need your vote. That is especially important this year, as you can make a real difference in a business’ reputation and bottom line. You can feel good about voting in Best of Omaha, because we are the city’s legitimate “best of" contest. Like the local businesses you love, our voting system is fair, convenient, and free from manipulation. We use a verified email system for all voters. We only accept one ballot per verified email in order to avoid vote-stuffing. The ballots are free of advertising and sponsorships. It doesn’t take much time to vote, and, although there are lots of fun categories from which people can choose—German Bar and Outdoor Entertainment Venue are among new favorites around here—the minimum number of votes is five. We also leave the category fields blank so voters are not steered towards certain businesses. To encourage voting and say thank you, many local businesses offer discounts that the public can obtain simply by showing their proof-of-voting certificate. Anyone who completes the Best of Omaha voting ballot will receive the certificate and discounts that come with it. Who you vote for does not show or affect your ability to receive the discounts. Please take a few minutes and vote at bestofomaha.com.
