A Couple Reminders Before You Start

The Best of Thunder Bay is an all local survey, which means only votes towards locally owned businesses are counted.

Once again, we’ve skipped the nomination process, so it’s even easier to have your say about the best our city has to offer.

Entry is limited to one time per person.

You are not required to complete the survey in its entirety to be eligible for the grand prize. All you need to complete is at least two full sections to get your name in the race, so head to the categories you're most excited about and vote away!

Want to take a break and come back to finishing voting? No problem. As long as you come back within 24 hours, you'll be able to pick up where you left off.
