The official nominees for the 2026 Best of SLC Awards are here.

Each category includes up to 10 businesses selected primarily based on Google reviews from the past 12 months. Earning a spot as an official nominee means your customers showed up for you in a big way.

If your business made the list, congratulations. This is already something worth celebrating across the Salt Lake Valley.

What to do next if your business is an official nominee

Claim your nomination

If you have not claimed your nomination yet, now is the time. Claiming only takes a minute and gives you access to your business dashboard.

Why claiming your nomination matters

Once claimed, you can:

• Download complimentary Best of SLC nominee graphics
• Access important program updates
• Purchase tickets for the Best of SLC Awards ceremony on May 4 + 5
• Order plaques and recognition items
• Review and update your business information

Claiming your nomination also helps make sure your business details appear correctly throughout the program.

It also helps keep the program running smoothly. While ties are rare, they do happen, and in those cases preference may be given to businesses that have claimed their nomination.

The next step is the finalist stage, where top scoring nominees move forward in each category. Winners will be announced live at the Best of SLC Awards ceremony on May 4 + 5.

In the meantime, nominees can download their complimentary graphics and start sharing the news with customers, friends, and followers.
