Common Questions

No, businesses cannot nominate themselves for People's Choice. However, you can (and should) encourage your customers, employees, and community supporters to nominate you.

Yes! You can nominate as many Knox businesses as you'd like during the nomination period. Each nomination requires a brief reason why they deserve recognition.

Yes, you can vote for your own business, but remember - it's only one vote per email address. The real power comes from rallying your community to vote for you.

All nominated businesses will appear on the voting ballot when voting opens on September 1. If you're not sure if your favourite has been nominated, nominate them yourself!

We collect email addresses to prevent duplicate voting, but individual votes are not published. The winner is determined by total vote count only.

The People's Choice Award winner receives a trophy, recognition at our awards presentation night on October 8, feature placement on our website and social media and promotional coverage highlighting their win.
