Gallatin’s Greatest Community Choice Awards
T
MEET THE WINNERS!
he Gallatin’s Greatest Community Choice Awards were established by the Bozeman Daily Chronicle in 2021. Recipients of the awards are completely determined by a multiple round voting process that is open to everyone in the Gallatin Valley. The first phase of the award process is a nomination round. During the nomination round, all community residents are invited to submit open nominations for any business they wish in 152 different categories that encompass Beauty and Health, Dining, Entertainment and Leisure, Home, Home Services and Finance, Kids and Education, People and Places, Services, Shopping, Sports and Fitness, Top Employers, and Vehicles, Dealers and Services.
During the 2024 nomination round, over 59,000 nominations were received. Once the nominations have all been tabulated, the top 5 nominees in each category move forward to the voting round. Over a period of a month, the community is again invited to vote for their favorite from the top 5 in each category. These results are again tabulated, and the winners and two top finalists in each category are named. Winners receive plaques that are displayed in many businesses throughout the Gallatin Valley, and the top finalists also receive certificates. In the next few pages, the Chronicle invites you to read the stories of 18 of this year’s amazing Gallatin’s Greatest recipients.
