Claim what you’ve earned.
Through December 31, 2026, publishing is $99. The evaluation itself is free. The $99 covers the first year only. Renewals are $199/year. One flow, about five minutes: we evaluate your public record against the published criteria, you confirm your details, and your award kit is ready before you close the tab. No essays, no vote-chasing, and if the bar is not cleared, nothing is published, anywhere, ever.

Links from our emails hold your place for a limited time: at least 48 hours, and until your winner’s-rate deadline when you have one. Your evaluation is still on file. Enter the business name and your email and we’ll open a fresh link to it. Any rate deadline stays the date it was.

Checking is free and private. Already nominated? Same form — we pick up your evaluation where it stands, nothing restarts.
Evaluating your public record…
Most checks finish in about a minute. A few take longer while a public record source is slow to answer, and we email you the result either way. We read public signals only: years in operation, online presence, your review record, community standing.
This check is taking longer than usual, which normally means a public record source is slow to answer. It keeps running after you leave, and we’ll email the moment the result is in. Your place is saved at this link:
Part of your record couldn’t be confirmed automatically, so a person on our team will check it by hand. That’s routine for some businesses, and it isn’t a verdict. We’ll write to as soon as the review is done. Your place is saved at this link:
The bar wasn’t cleared on this year’s evaluation. Nothing has been published — we never post negative verdicts, anywhere. A later year can be evaluated on its own record. Think we’ve misread the record? Email us and a person will look.

Your award package
The evaluation is already on the record. This application publishes it, and the processing fee covers exactly that work: your dated winner page, badge & embed, print-ready certificate, and the announcement.
Earlier years you already earned.
Public evidence shows your business was already operating in these years, so each one can be claimed as its own dated award page, issued from this year’s verified award record with no separate evaluation: a longer run of dated pages under your name. Years are claimed in order, most recent first, so your award run stays unbroken. Winner’s rate: half the standard processing fee.
Each earlier-year page publishes together with your winner page, as soon as it goes live. If your award isn’t approved, everything you paid is refunded in full, earlier years included.
Card payment handled by Stripe — we never see your card details.
Selection is never paid. No fee can influence an evaluation, and this one is already done. If your application isn’t approved, the processing fee is refunded in full.
You’re in.
Payment received. Your winner portal is open — badge, certificate, and your page preview are ready now. The page goes live after final review, typically within one business day.
