Vote now for Finest on the Emerald Coast!

If you have a favorite Northwest Florida restaurant, bar, shop, salon — or nearly any consumer service imaginable — then here’s your chance to reward them.

Voting for the “2016 Finest on the Emerald Coast” contest is open. Last year, more than 10,000 votes were cast, and an even larger number is anticipated this time around, as residents celebrate the businesses they believe deserve to be named the best of the best in our corner of the world.

There are 10 divisions, containing more than 150 categories, in which to vote: Around the House, Automotive/Boat, Beauty, Everything Else, Food & Beverage, Fun, Health, Professional Services, Shopping and Your Money. Each area will have its own set of winners.

To cast an online ballot, go http://www.crestviewbulletin.com and click the very visible entry points on both sides of the page for the “2016 Finest on the Emerald Coast” contest.

Voting or nominating for a business is as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Visit the ballot page and click Register/Login to register to nominate/vote.

2. Provide your email address and create a password.

3. Nominate your favorite business to be registered for the grand prize of a three-day, two-night stay at a Wyndham Hotel Group property (there are 250 destinations to choose from). The winner will be selected in a random drawing to be held on or about March 15 from all eligible entries received by the entry deadline.

Note: Voting is open until noon March 11. No purchase is necessary to register for the contest; making a purchase will not improve your chance of winning. All participants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. This contest is void where prohibited.
