2024 BIZ X AWARD NOMINATIONS HAVE CLOSED, THE VOTING POLL IS NOW BEING ASSEMBLED

VOTING IN THE 27th ANNUAL BIZ X AWARDS TAKES PLACE FROM SEPT. 17 AT NOON UNTIL SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 AT 5 P.M. Be sure to return to our site during these dates when the polls open up.

Since the release of the summer and September issues of Biz X — and on our website — readers of the magazine have had over a month to nominate the businesses, organizations, events and people in Windsor, Essex and Pelee Island who they believe are the best of the best in 24 categories.

Nominees will be made public here when voting commences at noon on September 17 and continues through to September 24, 2024 with a 5 p.m. deadline.

During the voting period you can cast your vote for your choice to win the 2024 Biz X Award in each respective category. You can also vote using your smart phone or tablet via our mobile friendly voting site.

You can vote once per category per IP address only. ONCE YOU HAVE VOTED IN A CATEGORY THE LIST OF NOMINEES WILL NO LONGER SHOW FOR YOU.

Keep in mind, you can vote in all categories if you like, or just one! It is totally confidential and no one can see who you vote for. Please be sure to answer the anti-spam question to ensure you are not a robot.

You can also EXIT WITHOUT VOTING in a category, if you are not sure who to vote for or choose not to vote in a category.

If you are a nominee keep in mind this is not a popularity contest — only one nomination was needed to be in the poll and vote tallies are only a portion of the overall selection process (which includes what nominators wrote about the nominee; background information sent in by the nominee; voting poll results and what the Biz X Award Judges consider important in his/her own opinion).

All nominations received, along with the company background information nominees supplied online to us plus a summary of the voting poll results are then reviewed by the Biz X panel of Judges after the polls close.

The Biz X Judges meet in the fall to determine the final winners by secret ballot. The Judges do not know who has actually won until the release of the November/December edition.

Publisher Deborah Jones and her entire team extend their congratulations to all nominees and wish each and every one of them the best of luck as the Judges make their final decisions.

Are you ready to help us find the #1 businesses, organizations, events and biz pros in Windsor, Essex and Pelee Island? Then return to our site September 17!

*PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Since some nominees did not submit the required online information we requested to receive online BEFORE the voting poll information was assembled, there may be changes made to the business/organization and individual names or addresses in the official nominee listings in the November/December awards issue compared to what is viewed in the voting poll. The listings are assembled from information submitted by nominees.
