How it works
- Nominate one favorite in as many categories as you like. Anyone can nominate, including business owners.
- Confirm your email once. We send a link; your nominations count when you tap it. After that, this device remembers you.
- Finalists: up to five per category, the places with the most confirmed nominations, checked to be open and in Hunterdon County.
- Vote January 11–31, one vote per category per email.
- Winners are announced February 15 and get a free winner's badge and certificate.
Rules
- One nomination and one vote per category per email address. Changing your pick replaces your earlier one.
- Places must be in Hunterdon County, New Jersey and open to the public.
- Businesses may ask customers to nominate and vote, but may not offer discounts, prizes or anything else in exchange. Nominations or votes tied to an offer are removed.
- We merge duplicate entries ("Joe's" and "Joe's Pizzeria"), and we remove entries from temporary email addresses or automated submissions.
- Nomination and vote counts stay private until winners are announced. County Brief's decisions on eligibility are final.
- Your email is used to confirm your nominations and votes, and for the newsletter only if you ask for it. It is never shared with nominees, sponsors or anyone else. See our privacy policy.
