Hello, readers, I am happy to report that voting in our 21st survey for the 2026 Best of Business Awards is off to a great start!
The Best of Business Awards promote excellence in innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership in the Region's business community. Our program is an opportunity for our readers to come together and celebrate the very best of the best in Northwest Indiana and Michiana.
Our website, BestOf.NWIndianaBusiness.com, features seven distinct categories in two regions: Northwest Indiana and Michiana. Vote for the best company to work for, favorite restaurant for business entertaining, meeting sites and photographer for events, among many other awards.
Readers are allowed to vote in each category once a day through Jan. 29. Winners will be announced on our websites, NWIndianaBusiness.com and MichianaBusinessNews.com, in mid-March. The list of winners will be published in our April-May issue.
We do require voters to sign in to the site using their email addresses to make sure only real people vote in our annual survey. We vet all the winners, make sure company names haven't changed, and if they do, combine their votes.
We thank you for your interest in our annual survey and look forward to sharing the winners with you in our April-May issue!
