Hello PHOENIX magazine reader! This is your voice to let us know who’s the Best in the Valley in 2026.
Nominations are open March 1-27 and you’re allowed to nominate once per categroy per day. The more the merrier because only the top nominees advance to the voting round, which begins April 1. Voting ends April 30.
Top vote-getters will be listed in our July/August Best of the Valley issue and will be published on this page May 29.
Note: BOV nominees are permitted to win two (2) categories maximum per year. PHOENIX editors reserve the right to nullify votes in categories that don’t match their competencies. We also reserve the right to disqualify nominees with out-of-state origins, along with franchises and chains that are not necessarily local to the Phoenix metro area.
