Approval Criteria

We’re committed to recognizing real, hardworking businesses—and keeping the nomination and voting processes fair for everyone. Here’s how we make sure everything stays transparent and legitimate:

Business Verification
Every nominated business must have a valid name and online presence (e.g., website, social media, or business listing). We review all nominations to ensure they match real, operating businesses within the eligible region and category.

Email Confirmation
Users must create an account and verify their email before voting. This helps prevent duplicate or fraudulent votes.

One Vote per Category
To ensure fairness, each user can vote only once per business in a given category. We monitor for suspicious voting patterns and reserve the right to remove inauthentic votes.

Manual Review
Our team reviews flagged entries, investigates suspicious activity, and takes action if any rules are violated.

Community Standards
Nominated businesses must align with our community standards. We do not accept nominations that promote hate, discrimination, or illegal activity.
