Here are some questions that are frequently asked during our nominations/voting period. Please check here before sending an email to the admins of our contest. If your question is not answered, you can email us, or post your question below!
►Why does my nomination not show up?
•When you enter a nomination, admins must approve the nomination-- we check for eligibility (business location), accuracy of the spelling/business name, and that the business/person nominated was put into the correct category. If you or your business is nominated multiple times, each nomination will count as a vote-- even if the nomination hasn't been approved yet! ✳️Keep in mind that if your business was not deemed eligible for a nomination in that category, we will reject the nomination.
►How long does it take you to get the entries approved? I want to vote NOW!
•Moderation by the administrators will happen at minimum 3 times per day, but we do have other responsibilities. Don't worry though, your nominations all count as votes and are tallied even if your business isn't showing up yet!
►I (or my business) was nominated, but the name is spelled wrong. How do I fix this?
•Type in your name or your business name correctly as a new nomination. When admins moderate the entries, we will check for accuracy and combine the two entries so that you don't lose any votes!
►Do you accept paper ballots?
•No-- the only way to vote is via our website.
►I was nominated under the wrong category. Can this be fixed?
•Yes! When admins moderate the entries, we will check for accuracy and remove you from incorrect categories.
**HOWEVER, votes WILL NOT be moved from one category to another, so please make sure your customers are nominating you under the correct categories!
►Can I post on Facebook that I am nominated and ask for people to vote for me?
•Yes! By all means! Make signs and put in your office, text your friends, email past clients!
►How many times can I vote?
•You can vote every day, but only once per day per email. (Yes, this means you can use multiple email addresses.)
► When will I know if I won?
•Winners are notified starting the week after voting ends. ONLY winners are notified.
►I don't see a category for my business. Can it be added?
•We can add categories during the contest. It is at the discretion of the contest administrators. Several factors are considered including: the amount of time left in the contest, the number of businesses in that category, and location, along with other factors.
