Residents from around Denton County are asked to nominate their favorite businesses right here on our website. There are over 450 categories to nominate in. All that is needed is a valid email address to vote. And here’s what makes this even better – to ensure that there’s no fraudulent voting, each vote is counted only once per email address and IP address. This means that the Best of Denton County truly represents what our community values and loves.
After the nomination stage concludes, it’s time to cast your votes! The nominations are counted with the help of trusted third-party software. The top three nominees in each category then proceed to the final voting round, where all residents can participate and choose their favorite candidates for the “Best of Denton County” title.
If a resident has to travel to you, the business must be located within Denton County. If your business travels to the resident, then the business can be located outside of Denton County.
