Running a “Best Of” contest is a stellar idea for rounding out the end of the year; for examples, “Best Restaurants of 2010″, or “Reader’s Choice 2010″. You can include all local businesses or focus on a particular category. We’ve even seen a “Best Coaches of the Year” contest. A few different ways you can run this kind of contest:

• A ballot with pre-determined choices
• A write-in ballot

Featured Contest

Reader’s Choice: Gaston Gazette

• 404,518 Page Views

In the past, we ran the Reader’s Choice contest in print. With UPICKEM, user participation and page views were up from print and overall it’s a much more dynamic and fun experience.” -John Hoffman, Web Manager
