Editorial note
Feel free to use any parts of the press release and edit as necessary – for example, feel free to move the paragraphs around to fit your announcement’s style or use the most appropriate portions of the template. You do not have to use the template in its entirety and you do not have to request any final editorial approval when shortening it.
The only request we make, when editing the template or writing your own press release, is to please ensure the full correct spelling of the business awards program’s name: it is ‘Best in Biz Awards’. It is NOT ‘Best in Biz’, ‘Best-in-Biz,’ ‘Best in the Biz’ or ‘the Best in Biz Awards’ and as such, it should not be made singular/plural as in ‘won three Best in Biz awards’ or ‘was honored with a Best in Biz award’. Such singular/plural uses as in the above two examples are incorrect and should be rephrased with e.g. ‘won two awards in Best in Biz Awards’ or ‘was recognized in three categories in Best in Biz Awards’ instead. The name should only be used in full, with the correct spelling: ‘Best in Biz Awards’. Thank you in advance for your adherence to the guidelines.

Since the program’s inception in 2011, winners in Best in Biz Awards have been determined by independent judging panels assembled each year from some of the most respected national and local newspapers, TV and radio outlets, and business, consumer, technology and trade publications in North America. By combining the unparalleled expertise and experience of the top-notch editors and reporters with the vast diversity of outlets they represent, Best in Biz Awards has always offered the most objective and unbiased judging, beyond programs scored by regular business professionals or by writers from one publication. The 2025 judging panel included, among others, writers and contributors to Associated Press, Barron’s, Consumer Affairs, eWeek, Forbes, Globe and Mail, Inc., MediaPost, New York Times, Ottawa Citizen, and Wired.
“Over the past 15 years, Best in Biz Awards has seen entries from companies small and large, from every corner of the United States and Canada, and from industries as diverse as AI and cosmetics through logistics and retail to software and waste management. We’ve seen impressive entries both in years of incredible economic expansion and growth and in those difficult and challenging pandemic years,” said Best in Biz Awards staff. “As we mark our 15th annual edition, we are exceedingly proud of our winners, many of whom have grown exponentially, got acquired or went public since winning one of our awards. However, besides their impressive growth and innovation, what has always set Best in Biz Awards winners apart has been the positive impact and change they bring about for their employees, clients and communities – and it is that positive impact of Best in Biz Awards winners over the past 15 years that we are most proud of.”
