Please quickly read through the items below. If you have any questions, please contact us and we’ll get right back to you.
Tickets are required to be purchased in advance. Tickets are 100% sold out and we will not be selling tickets at the door. We will also not allow entry without a valid ticket. This is strictly enforced to respect those who did purchase tickets.
Be sure each of your tickets are assigned and include UNIQUE contact information for each guest. Unassigned tickets or tickets with duplicate contact details are not eligible to win door prizes.
Login to the candidate dashboard to assign tickets.
Dress in the best you have! At the awards ceremony you’ll see glamorous gowns and dapper tuxedos. This is a night to celebrate you, Idaho’s Best, so dress like it!
Doors open at 7:00pm and we expect to end around 9:30pm.
Our event is at Boise Centre East. The address is 195 S Capitol Blvd in downtown Boise. Be sure to look for the EAST building. Enter on the ground floor and head up the elevators to the 4th floor. You’ll find us there!
We have thousands of dollars worth of door prizes to give away throughout the night.
If you signed up to bring an approved door prize, please bring it with you to the event and hand it in at the registration table.
If you’d like to sponsor a door prize, thanks, but it’s too late this year. We received so many that we had to turn some away.
After registration you’ll walk the red carpet. We’ve hired an experienced photographer to capture the moment for your entire team. Please, no selfie’s on the red carpet before the event starts. You’ll be able to do that after the program is over.
The venue is providing a bar that serves beer, wine, and soda. If you’re a VIP ticket holder, we’ll give you a drink ticket at the registration table. If you’re a GE ticket holder, drinks are available for purchase.
NOTE: There is no dinner served at this event! However, we will be providing a light dessert. Please do not take more than two servings of dessert for yourself.
Although we have nearly 300 categories in this year’s awards, at the awards ceremony we will only be announcing the results for about 75 of them. Basically those who purchased tickets will hear their category’s results.
NOTE: If you’re bringing a guest who represents a different candidate, or you’re employed with a candidate for which tickets were not purchased, it is too late to add new candidates to the awards presentation agenda. Basically, if you didn’t notify us far in enough in advance, we will not announce the category if it is not also represented by another finalist. Either way, we will not have a printed certificate for the unknown candidate.
Once your category is announced, please make your way to the stage for another photo opportunity with Brodie handing you a certificate. Bring the entire team, if you like! Don’t worry though… you are not expected to give a speech. It’s just a photo opp.
If you’re unable to make it to our awards ceremony, that’s unfortunate because it’s going to be a fun evening! That said, we will be announcing the winners for all categories on our website the very next day, so stay tuned.
Hello Idaho! We’re back for another year of recognizing the best businesses and establishments in our wonderful state.
Who Selected Our Nominees?
Ultimately our nominees were selected by Idaho residents. The determining factors were the nominations received until February 16 and the candidates’ Google reviews throughout the previous year.
Now, Idaho residents can show their support once more by voting for their favorite candidates online. Voting is open from now through April 12, 2024.
And the Winner Is…
After voting closes on April 12, we’ll gather the results and check each candidate’s BBB grade. (An absence of a grade is acceptable, but a negative one is not!!) But that’s not where it ends.
In addition to votes, the winner of each category is also determined by their Google reviews from the previous 12 months. Combining the vote total with the review score will give us our winners. We will first announce the 2024 winners at our awards ceremony in Idaho on May 22 + 23, 2024. Winners will then be published online and in our Idaho’s Best 2024 Magazine.
For more details, the latest information can be found on our How It Works and FAQ pages.
Thanks for your support and participation!
Idaho has spoken and we have done the work of vetting thousands of nominees. With a record number of nominations this year, we released the list of nominees a little later than we had hoped. That, and we also added 30 categories this year for a total of 297 categories. In all, we verified a total of 4,377 locations for 2,761 nominees, the most we’ve ever had! As a nominee, you earned your spot by having a good mix of nominations and reviews.
What should you do now?
If you’re a nominee, be sure to claim your nomination right away. It only takes a minute!
Why claim your company’s nomination? You’ll get instant access to complimentary graphics, announcements, and other benefits. Plus, we’ll be able to correct any errors that we have on file for your business.
When you register, you have the opportunity to help us get it right. You’re able to verify that your business name, location(s), and contact information are correct.
Claiming Your Nomination Helps Us…and You!
It’s true! Claiming your nomination for Idaho’s Best can make it better. Engagement plays a pivotal role in driving the changes we implement. We do the best we can to compare like with like to achieve a level playing field. Categories with minimal nominations, and even fewer registered companies get less attention. They may be absorbed by another category or disappear altogether.
Categories with a lot of competitors and registered companies are likely to get more attention. This doesn’t mean altered scoring; rather, that it’s more likely we’ll add categories that are more narrowly defined, giving every business in that group better odds and a fairer shake.
Claiming your company’s nomination can even give you a leg up in our awards programs. While ties in scoring aren’t common, they do occur. In such cases, that advantage goes to the company that has claimed their company. Claimed Candidate > Unclaimed Candidate
New Timeline
In case you hadn’t noticed, we needed to change up the schedule for this year’s awards just a bit. Please check out the How It Works page on our website for details.
We Care About Your Privacy
You can see the complete Idaho’s Best privacy policy here. We want you to know that we won’t share any information you provide when you claim your nomination (or make nominations, or vote) with any other party or organization unless you request it. Our email notifications are strictly opt-in and are only used for communications regarding Idaho’s Best so we can let you know about important dates or events.
The 2024 Idaho’s Best season is off to a great start! At first count, we’ve got almost 10,000 nominations to sort through… Impressive!!
The nomination period was open until February 16. We spread the message through email and social media, and thanks to your nominations and reviews, it appears we have a wealth of candidates to review. Thank you for helping us spread the word by sharing and tagging us in so many posts!
What’s Next?
Here is where our real work begins. In our quest to discover the very best that Idaho has to offer, we will meticulously review each candidate. Our focus includes confirming that they align with the nominated category and ensuring all locations are accurate in our system.
Regarding locations, evaluating a single-location business is straightforward. We’ll tally their votes and reviews for the final score. However, businesses having multiple locations adds a layer of complexity. The quantity of votes and reviews significantly impacts the results of Idaho’s Best, and we don’t want larger businesses to have an unfair advantage simply due to their size. To keep things fair, we average out reviews per location.
This process can be incredibly time consuming, which is why it takes so long for us to announce the official nominees. Our small team will spend the next few weeks to get things sorted as quickly as possible, and hopefully, we’ll be able to announce the nominees by mid March.
Thank You!
The success of these awards hinges on the support of the local community, and for that, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. A special thank you for your nominations, votes, and reviews – your contribution is truly appreciated!
Sarah Stroh is the personable and friendly owner of Hippie Hoops and Holes
, a piercing studio that she started in December 2012. Sarah’s journey to owning her own business began with a simple desire for a friendly place to get pierced. Frustrated with the lack of such places in her area, Sarah took matters into her own hands to create a space where people could feel at ease while getting pierced.
At first, Sarah looked for apprenticeships to learn the art of piercing, but she quickly realized that opportunities were few and far between. In fact, at the time, there were only a handful of piercers in her area, and none of them were interested in taking on an apprentice. Undeterred, Sarah decided to teach herself. Over time, her skills improved, and she gained a reputation for being a talented and conscientious piercer.
As her business grew, Sarah realized that she needed help to keep up with demand. She began taking on apprentices, passing on her knowledge and skills to a new generation of piercers. Collin, her current manager, actually came in as a client. He was so impressed with Sarah’s work that he went straight home and sent in his resume. He started two weeks later and has now been with Hippie Hoops and Holes for over two years, a true asset to the team.
Despite her success, Sarah remains humble yet passionate about piercing. Sarah and her team take pride in providing a warm and non-judgmental space for clients, and they’re always willing to go above and beyond to make sure people feel comfortable and well-informed about the piercing process. They are always happy to answer questions and to provide guidance to customers, whether they are getting their first piercing or their twentieth. Their advice to people looking for a piercing studio is to read reviews and ask questions. Their team believes that finding a reputable piercer is crucial to a safe piercing experience.
Their team was recently thrilled to learn that the company had been named a Statewide Winner for Personal Beauty in the 2023 Idaho’s Best Awards. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication they have poured into the business over the years. What is even more remarkable is that the team never asked for a single vote — their customers spoke up on their behalf, recognizing the high level of quality and care they bring to their craft.
Beyond her skill as a piercer, Sarah is a “people person,” a friendly business owner who cares deeply about her community. She believes in giving back, and her team has made it a priority to be involved in local events and initiatives. In addition to donating gift cards to various community organizations, they also give away daith piercings for Christmas each year, helping people who are in pain.(Daith piercings are an alternative treatment widely thought to reduce the severity of migraines.)
For Sarah and her team, piercing is not just a job, it’s a passion. Their knowledge and expertise in piercing are unparalleled, and their professionalism makes customers feel like they’re in good hands.
At Hippie Hoops and Holes, the team has created an inclusive atmosphere, where customers of all ages, genders, and backgrounds flock to get pierced. They take great care to ensure that each piercing is done with precision and attention to detail. They use only high-quality jewelry and equipment, and follow strict hygiene and safety protocols.
If you’re in the market for a piercing, consider checking out Hippie Hoops and Holes. Sarah and her team will make sure you feel welcome and comfortable throughout the process, and you’ll leave with a beautiful piece of jewelry that you’ll love for years to come. And who knows, you might just find yourself a part of the ever-growing community of loyal Hippie Hoops and Holes clients who can’t imagine getting pierced anywhere else.

These windows were ENERGY STAR® certified, which meant they were the epitome of cost savings.

Excitement filled the air as the installation day approached. The Broadbents were eager to bid farewell to their old, pesky windows and welcome the new, money-saving ones.

Imagine a world without computers. If you’re old enough to remember life before PCs and smartphones, you won’t have to imagine that hard.
FACT: In the fast-paced world we live in, computers have become an integral part of our daily lives. From personal tasks to running a business, a well-functioning computer is essential.
When your computer malfunctions or crashes, you need a reliable and efficient computer repair shop immediately. However, with so many options available, it can be challenging to make the right choice. To ensure a satisfactory experience, consider these five essential factors when selecting a computer repair shop.
1. Technical Expertise and Experience
A reputable shop will employ skilled technicians who are well-versed in diagnosing and resolving various computer issues. Look for certifications, industry affiliations, and customer reviews that vouch for their competence.
2. Prompt Turnaround Time
Efficient repair shops understand the importance of minimizing downtime and aim to return your computer in a timely manner without compromising the quality of service.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff who can explain the issues and the repair process instill confidence and trust. Look for shops that are responsive to your questions and concerns.
