Now in its 15th year, Best in Biz Awards is the only business awards program judged by independent panels of top-tier writers and editors from well-known publications.
From Associated Press to Yahoo Tech’s David Pogue – and including Businessweek, CNET, Fast Company, Financial Times, Inc., Forbes, Fortune, Reuters, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Wired and more – both our North American and International premier business awards programs are judged by a who’s who of top reporters and editors from the most respected publications each year.
From Aflac to Zappos, past business award winners in Best in Biz Awards span the business spectrum, from blue-chip companies that form the bedrock of the world economy through mom-and-pop shops and Shark Tank sensations to some of today’s most innovative start-ups. Other notable business award winners across company, executive and product categories over the past 14 years have included: 1-800-Flowers, Boyd Gaming, Citrix, Dell, Dyson, Eastman, Epson, Experian, Hilton, HP, LifeLock, Microsoft, National Association of Realtors, Safelite, Sandisk, Santander Bank, StubHub, Symantec, UnitedHealthcare, YMCA and Zappos.
