The Idaho’s Best community has spoken, and our team has completed the review process. Businesses selected as official 2026 Idaho’s Best nominees earned their place through a strong combination of nominations and Google reviews from the past 12 months.

Being named a nominee is an accomplishment in itself, and we’re excited to have you move forward in this year’s awards program.

What Should You Do Next?

Claim Your Nomination

If your business is a nominee, be sure to claim your nomination as soon as possible. It only takes a minute and unlocks important tools and benefits.

Why Claim Your Company’s Nomination?

Claiming your nomination gives you immediate access to your business dashboard, where you can:

• Download complimentary promotional graphics
• Access announcements and program updates
• Purchase event tickets and plaques
• Review and correct your business information

Claiming your listing also helps ensure your business name, locations, and contact details are accurate throughout the program.

Claiming Your Nomination Helps Us — and You

Engagement plays an important role in keeping Idaho’s Best fair and competitive. When businesses claim their nominations, it helps us better understand participation across categories and refine the program over time.

While ties are rare, they do occur — and in those cases, preference may be given to businesses that have claimed their nomination.
