Our biggest promotion is back again for 2026!
Join us as we celebrate the best businesses and professionals the New England has to offer in Best in the New England 2026.
How does it work?
Each day we’ll announce a new category. You’ll have that day – and that day only – to vote for the business or professional you think is the best in the New England. Voting closes at 9pm each day, and we’ll announce the winner the following morning along with the next category. The nominee with the most valid votes wins. It’s that simple!
What do I get for voting?
As well as supporting your favourite local businesses, every eligible voter goes into the draw to win $100 cash every week throughout the promotion.
Every valid vote you submit is another entry into that week’s draw. You can cast as many unique votes as you like – you just can’t vote for the same business or person in the same category more than once.
See the full Rules, Terms and Conditions here.
What can businesses win?
Each category winner will receive:
- A Best in the New England 2026 Winner Certificate (PDF) and winner social media graphic.
- A 50% off New England Times advertising voucher, worth up to $5,000.
- Bragging rights for a whole 12 months!
We’ll also celebrate each winner with coverage on New England Times and a shout-out across our social media channels.
And even if you don’t take out the top spot, every eligible nominee will receive a special advertising offer from New England Times.
