Unmatched judging expertise…
Best in Biz Awards has been one of the most prestigious business awards programs in North America and globally since 2011. This prestige and premier status stem from Best in Biz Awards’ judging structure and guarantee. Best in Biz Awards is the only independent business awards program in the world judged only by prominent members of the press, from Associated Press to the Wall Street Journal.
Many other business awards are judged by business professionals, who often take up judging for personal reasons – to augment their resumes, job applications or visa documentation – not because they are true experts in their business fields.
Having researched and covered countless successful companies, products, and business personalities, the reporters, editors, news anchors, magazine contributors and radio reporters who serve on Best in Biz Awards’ top-notch press judging panels are best positioned to objectively evaluate the entry pool to determine winners. They have the business expertise, the press research chops and the determination to reward the best of the best.
… across a wide spectrum of top-tier press outlets
What truly sets Best in Biz Awards apart from other top business awards is that it is the only business awards program that combines the unmatched objectivity and expertise of the press – and collects that expertise, not just from a single publication, but across a wide spectrum of top-tier press publications. Instead of being members of one editorial team of one particular publication, our press judges hail from a wide variety of top-tier publications.
That unmatched objectivity of our press judges, combined with the wide variety of publications, seniority levels and specialties they represent, gives Best in Biz Awards its objective edge. We believe that structured this way, the judging panel is free from group think and social or workplace influences, and the scores and eventual results the most objective in the business award world.
