Seven Daysies Awards
Our annual readers’ choice awards celebrate the best in Vermont.
Ask your clients, customers and friends to support your local business with a nomination.
How does it work?
- In round #1, we ask our readers to nominate their favorite businesses, people and places in Vermont.
- The nominees with the most write-ins advance to the second round.
- In round #2 our readers return to the ballot and vote for their favorites.
- The finalist with the most votes in each category wins! Winners are announced in the All the Best magazine in early August and invited to the awards party that week.
Get Involved!
Support the Daysies with a campaign in Seven Days or an advertisement in the annual All the Best magazine.
