Virginia Media - Best of 2021

Our 28th Anniversary

Best of  (formally known at The Virginian-Pilot‘s People’s Choice Award) is a contest where consumers are nominating and voting for their favorite businesses. With just shy of 200 categories in each city, there are countless ways for businesses to promote their offerings and encourage readers to vote for them. The ballot will be comprised of nominated businesses and businesses who have purchased a voter promotional campaign. 

This year we continue combining the contests from The Virginian-Pilot, Daily Press, and Virginia Gazette for exposure across all of Hampton Roads!
