Take Note:

*Most categories ask for a nomination for each Triad area. You are not required to make a nomination for every area or every category. However, we ask you enter a nomination for at least five different categories throughout the survey for your responses to count.
* We do not allow “teams” or “partners” to be nominated for medical and realtor categories. This keeps things fair to different sized businesses. Therefore, each of those categories will ask for one professional.
* Only one nomination form per email address will be accepted in this contest. Additionally, ballot loading will be detected, and those nominations will be disqualified.
* You can always find our timeline for the 2022 Choice Awards on our landing page here. In addition, you will find previous nominees and winners from past Choice Award contests.
