2021 Platinum Awards
Nominees by Category
Vote for Your Favorite Business by Category
Every Vote Counts!
The winner of the award is determined through a combination of the judges score and the public vote. There is a set amount of “points” allocated to the public vote and each nominee finalist will get a portion of the points available in proportion to the percentage of the votes they receive. The scoring in every category is close so even if your favorite doesn’t win the public vote, they can still win the award!
