What is Best of Forsyth?
Best of Forsyth is Forsyth County's premier reader's-choice contest, hosted annually by Forsyth County News. Thousands of local residents nominate and vote for the businesses, services, and organizations they believe are the best in our community — celebrating excellence and spotlighting the businesses that make Forsyth a thriving place to live, work, and visit.
Why advertising works
Being nominated — and especially winning — carries tremendous visibility and credibility. Advertising during the contest puts your business in front of thousands of engaged local readers, keeps you top-of-mind during nomination and voting, and reminds customers to support you at the ballot. Even if you don't win, you benefit from strong brand awareness, association with a trusted community program, and exposure to new audiences actively looking for the "best" businesses in Forsyth.
If you win
Winners enjoy year-long bragging rights: recognition in the print and online winners' edition, digital badges, and the ability to leverage the "Best of Forsyth" title across their own marketing to build credibility and customer loyalty.
Advertising is optional
Best of Forsyth is a reader's-choice contest. You do not have to advertise with us or spend any money to be nominated or win — winners are decided entirely by community votes. Advertising is simply a way to amplify your reach and remind customers to vote.
