Here’s What Happens Next

The nomination period for the 2026 Idaho’s Best Awards is now closed. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received as Idaho residents nominated their favorite local companies and helped kick off another exciting awards season.

What Happens Behind the Scenes

With nominations complete, our team is now focused on reviewing each submission to determine which businesses will move forward in the 2026 program. Because only a limited number of companies can advance, not every nominated business will become an official nominee.

During this stage, we carefully review each business to ensure:

• It aligns with the appropriate category
• Business information and locations are accurate
• Google reviews from the past 12 months reflect consistent customer experience

This step takes time, but it’s essential to keeping Idaho’s Best competitive, fair, and meaningful.

What’s Next?

Once the review process is complete, we’ll announce the official 2026 Idaho’s Best nominees, and the program will move into the next stage.

Thank you for being part of Idaho’s Best. We’re excited to share what’s next.
