Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose the categories?

Each year, the Alaska Business editorial and management teams evaluate our list of categories for the survey. We consider current business and industry trends and the prior year’s data to refine the category list. We may add a new category if an exciting new business or trend comes to our attention or we may eliminate a category that is no longer applicable or does not have a high response rate. We always take into account your feedback , as well, and we appreciate hearing about categories you’d like to see added or nixed.

Does advertising influence the contest?

This readers’ choice survey is managed by our editorial department and is completely separate from advertising. The Best of Alaska Business awards has no relationship with or effect on advertising, and vice versa.

Can a business or organization be a finalist if it’s located outside of the magazine’s coverage area?

In order to qualify as a finalist in the survey, the business or organization must have a physical presence within Alaska.

When will the winners be announced?

On July 1 you’ll be able to find the 2023 winners in our digital and print editions and on our website.

For now, you can see the full list and writeups of our 2022 winners in the Best of Alaska Business Special Section in our July print and digital editions; you can also find them on our lists page.

What happens if I win?

We celebrate how awesome you are! Throughout the month of July we highlight Best of Alaska Business winners on our website and social media. In addition, winners receive a free copy of the magazine, a certificate for display, and an opportunity to purchase customized swag.
