About the Best of Tipton
We started the Best of Tipton annual campaign as another way to support the deserving people who make this county a great place to live, work and visit. There are so many individuals and businesses that deserve recognition in Tipton County, and this is just one way to do so.
Each year, we will open the Best of Tipton campaign to for a two-week nomination period. The top five nominees will be finalists, competing for the Best of Tipton selection in each category.
We want this to be 100% decided on by the people of Tipton County. We’re just the ones organizing the campaign.
The Best of Tipton winners will receive the following each year:
- Best of Tipton window decal/sticker
- Best of Tipton graphic to proudly display on their website
- Listing on this webpage, with links to business (when applicable)
- Social media shoutouts from Harden Digital & Design
- Bragging rights, duh!
Previous year winners will be archived on this page as well moving forward.
