The process starts with a nomination on the Best of Georgia website. Voting remains open throughout the year, with hundreds of thousands of votes ultimately received. The process culminates with the publishing of the annual Best of Georgia Keepsake Annual, along with a statewide publicity campaign.

Best of Georgia Regional winners and nominees are chosen by a combination of readers’ votes and editors’ input and are vetted through several ranking sites, Better Business Bureau complaint reports, and voting pattern analysis reports.

Winners are named in hundreds of individual categories, providing Georgia Business Journal readers with a go-to guide for the best of everything in Georgia. Georgia Business Journal recognizes three levels of winners: The Best of Georgia, Best of Georgia Regional Winners, and Honorable Mentions. Within each category, there are multiple honorees named in each tier, depending on the size of the market sector.
