We-Ha.com and West Hartford Magazine are sponsoring the first ever ‘Best of West Hartford’ contest!

By Ronni Newton

Look up at the tagline on the top of the page – “We have it all in West Hartford.”

The staff at We-Ha.com and West Hartford Magazine certainly thinks so, and so do the residents and other customers who love and support our local businesses. Our restaurants, stores, services, and other businesses often win awards in regional “best of” competitions.

But this contest is different.

We are sponsoring a true “readers’ choice” survey. Beginning today, you, the readers, will be able to nominate your favorites for the “Best of West Hartford” in a variety of categories.

Nominations close on May 15, and beginning Friday, May 22, you, the readers, will be able to vote for your favorite in each category. Voting will end on Monday, July 13.

Nominations and voting will all be conducted on We-Ha.com.

The winners not only earn a seal of approval from our community. The other really exciting part is that once the winners are determined, they will be properly honored and celebrated at the not-to-be-missed inaugural “Best of West Hartford” event on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2015, at the West Hartford Conference Center at Town Hall.

One of the best parts for readers is that if you participate in the “Best of West Hartford” readers’ choice survey, you will automatically be entered to win four general admission tickets (valued at $240) to our inaugural “Best of West Hartford” event.

Of course there are a few rules, including that you may only vote once and MUST verify your ballot (you’ll automatically be sent an email at the address you use to register once you click “finalize”) so that your nominations and votes count.

You don’t need to be a West Hartford resident to vote, but only West Hartford businesses can be nominated. Please share this information with family and friends – the more input the better!

This is the inaugural year, so we don’t want to have an overwhelming number of sections on the survey, but we also have a space for your to write in categories that you’d like included next year.
