The 2025 Idaho’s Best Awards are Underway!

The 2025 Idaho’s Best Awards season is off to an incredible start! With over 9,800 nominations submitted, this year’s response has been nothing short of amazing. The nomination period officially closed on January 24, 2025, and now it’s time to move into the next exciting phase of this journey.

What Happened During Nominations?

The nomination period saw an outpouring of support from Idaho’s incredible community. We spread the word across social media, and your shares, tags, and engagement played a crucial role. Thanks to you, we now have a treasure trove of outstanding candidates to review!

What’s Next?

Now comes the hard work. Our small but mighty team will carefully review each nomination to ensure every candidate aligns with their nominated category and that all business locations are correctly listed.

When it comes to evaluating nominees, business size and number of locations matter. For single-location businesses, the process is straightforward: we calculate votes and reviews to determine their final score. For multi-location businesses, we average the votes and reviews across all locations to ensure fairness. This process, though time-intensive, ensures that businesses of all sizes have an equal chance to shine.

We know you’re eager to see the nominees! While our team is hard at work, we aim to announce the official nominees in mid February 2025, just in time for voting to begin.

Key Dates to Remember:

  • Voting: March 4 – March 13, 2025
  • Awards Ceremony: April 22 & 23, 2025

The Idaho’s Best Awards wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our community. Thank you for your nominations, reviews, and enthusiasm! Your participation helps us highlight the best businesses and celebrate everything that makes Idaho shine.
