Now in its 15th year, Best in Biz Awards is the only business awards program judged by independent panels of prestigious writers and editors from well-known publications.
From Associated Press to Yahoo Tech’s David Pogue – and including Businessweek, CNET, Consumer Affairs, 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.

Other notable business award winners over the 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, Zappos, and more.
