In The Minot Daily News’ Best of the Best contest, readers have the final say.

For years, Minot residents have looked forward to voting in the Best of the Best contest to support their favorite local businesses, organizations, people and attractions. It’s the biggest contest of its kind in the region, and we’re proud to host it to recognize the places and people that make Minot, Ward County and North Dakota special.

In 2021 we made the contest bigger and better than ever, to provide even more visibility to the Magic City’s businesses and organizations. Again, this year there will be interaction with the voter and the nominated businesses. You will be able to share your votes with friends to help your favorite business become the Best of the Best.

Daily online voting: You can vote once per category per day at www.minotdailynews.com/best.

More transparency: We know the Best of the Best contest is important to the local businesses and organizations that compete. So, we are taking extra steps this year to increase transparency in our rules and our decisions about which nominees are eligible for which categories.

The Minot Daily News wants local businesses and organizations to feel the magic of the Magic City!
