Nominations run July 1-30. Readers can nominate their favorite businesses, products and services in each category online, and write-in entries are encouraged. The top five nominees in each category will advance to the voting round.

Voting will occur Sept. 20-Oct. 20 when readers can vote online for their favorite among the top five nominees in each category. Winners will be determined based on the highest number of votes received.
