The rules:

  1. You can nominate up to five (5) businesses or professionals at one time.
  2. The more details you provide about the nominee, the better their chances will be.
  3. Judges will not see the number of times a business or professional is nominated, but they will receive each unique comment submitted. (In other words, if the same description is written 10 times, they’ll only see it once. We’re looking for your personal reasons, not what the nominee suggested you write.)
  4. Winners are chosen by an independent judging panel comprised of members in various towns throughout northern Westchester.
  5. All winners will be notified prior to publication (and sworn to secrecy).

Winners will be announced in our January/February 2026 issue.

Back by popular demand, our second Connect to the Best nomination period is open now until September 21.
