What is Best of the Best?


Best of the Best is an annual readers’ choice awards contest run by the Auburn Journal. Winners are celebrat-
ed with this publication, a guide to the businesses, services, restaurants and activities that make the greater
Auburn area an awesome place to live, work and play.

How are winners chosen?


You choose the winners by voting for your favorite businesses in 163 different categories. This year we had our
highest turnout ever — more than 1,700 votes! Readers filled out ballots printed in the Journal or voted online at
Auburnjournal.com.

How accurate is it?


Only one online or paper entry is allowed per person, so “ballot stuffing” is curtailed.

What’s in this special section?


You’ll find advertisements from many of the winning businesses you voted for. You’ll also find feature stories
and photographs of some of the winners from Journal reporters and photographers.

So, did your favorite business make the cut? If not, make sure to vote in next year’s Best of the Best. Is there a
category you’d like to see in Best of the Best? Contact Beth O’Brien at betho@goldcountrymedia.com.
Congratulations to all the winning businesses and thank you to all those who participated by voting!
