Best OF THE North Shore WINNER PRESENTED BY BLANK SLATE MEDIA

Thank you to the readers of Blank Slate Media’s 6 award-winning newspapers and all of our online readers who voted in this year’s contest, making it the biggest and most competitive contest yet. We had asked the residents of the North Shore to identify their favorites and the response was overwhelming. Thousands of votes were cast and the results reflect a diverse outcome. This year’s contest was the most competitive yet with businesses across the North Shore vying for title of “the best” in over 300 categories. We hope you enjoyed being a

part of the voting process; your participation made our contest a huge success once again. Though the circumstances this year surrounding our contest were unforeseen, your loyal customers in the communities you represent appreciate all that you offer and support you. Congratulations to ALL of our nominees. To our First Place Winners and Runners Up – enjoy the accolades of being known as the Best of the North Shore 2020…you earned them. Steven Blank Publisher
