The 2nd Annual Best of the Upper Valley: Celebrating Excellence in Our Community
February 13, 2025
At the heart of every thriving community lies a network of businesses that shape its identity, enhance its culture, and provide exceptional goods and services. The Upper Valley is no exception, brimming with outstanding restaurants, charming boutiques, and vibrant entertainment hubs that deserve to be recognized. Now, thanks to Dayton Magazine’s 2nd Annual Best of the Upper Valley Awards, we can celebrate the very best among them.
How It Works
The process is both inclusive and engaging—anyone can submit nominations, once per day, throughout the nomination period. This ensures that every deserving business has the chance to be recognized by the very people they serve. Once the nomination phase concludes, the top contenders in each category will advance as Finalists.
From there, the excitement continues. Finalists will be invited to showcase their businesses at the Best of the Upper Valley event in the Spring of 2025, an occasion that not only celebrates achievement but also provides a platform for businesses to connect with the community and earn additional votes. The ultimate winners will be featured in the Summer issue of Dayton Magazine, a testament to their impact and excellence.
