100% unique

Best in Biz Awards is unique as it is the only independent business awards program judged only by prominent members of the press. Having researched and covered countless successful companies, products, and business personalities, our top-notch press judges are well positioned to objectively evaluate the entry pool to determine winners.

However, what truly sets Best in Biz Awards apart, is that instead of being members of one editorial team of one particular publication, our judges hail from a wide variety of top-tier publications. We believe that structured this way, the panel is free from group think and social or workplace influences, and the scores and eventual results even more objective.

100% objective

Among numerous business awards programs, Best in Biz Awards is the only one that combines the unmatched objectivity and expertise of the press – and collects that expertise, not just from a single publication, but across a spectrum of top-tier publications. That unmatched objectivity of our press judges, combined with the wide variety of publications, seniority levels and specialties they represent, gives Best in Biz Awards its objective edge.
