We’re recognizing the best businesses and places in San Jose.

Nominations are now closed for our 2023 awards. Please check back soon after the first of the year when we announce who the nominees are!

Awards Ceremony

We are pleased to launch the most credible “best of” business awards program in San Jose!

San Jose’s Best is an annual awards program to highlight and recognize the best companies and places in the immediate San Jose metro area. But this isn’t your typical business awards program…

For San Jose’s Best, we do things a bit differently—better, if you will. Free participation, fraud prevention, online reviews, BBB ratings… These are just a handful of ways we change the game for business awards.

Learn more about our business awards and keep an eye out for our exclusive list of nominees to be announced in January.

San Jose’s Best is truly like no other awards program…

#1

Free Participation

We don’t charge a fee to enter and spending money with us does not influence results.

#2

Not a Popularity Contest

Small companies have just as good of a chance at winning as large companies.

#3

Your Selections, Not Ours

You get first dibs to nominate, vote, and review contestants, not a panel of judges.

#4

No Manipulators Allowed

Our tech is proprietary and limits companies from skewing results in their favor.

#5

Validated Results

Online reviews and BBB ratings ensure only the best companies and places win.

Our Search for the Best

How else are we able to recognize the best companies and places that San Jose has to offer? We take it a step further and require voters to register via SMS. We also review each and every company’s BBB profile to ensure clean results. You can see why we’re confident that San Jose’s Best represents the true and expressed opinions of local residents.

For your help in this endeavor, we thank you!
