ABOUT BEST OF THE BEST


Presented by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the 17th Annual Best of the Best readers-choice awards is an opportunity for Chattanoogans to recognize the incredible businesses and individuals that make the Scenic City such a great place to live and work. 


Featuring over 200 categories ranging from “Best Burger” to “Best Attorney” to “Best Non-Profit,” thousands of local Chattanoogans nominate and then vote for their favorites in each category with the results being announced at a gala in the fall before being published in print and online in the Chattanooga Times Free Press.


From small mom-and-pop shops to large corporations, the Best of the Best program is a chance for locals to come together and recognize the hard work and dedication of those who help make Chattanooga the vibrant city so many are proud to call home.
