Best of White Bear Lake 2023 Guidelines

… Let’s step into 2023 with a spirit of gratitude and support for White Bear Lake and the local businesses that have served us all so well over the previous year.

What’s the best way to say, “Thank you,” to your favorite dining spots, service spaces, shopping venues and more? Vote for your favorite local businesses and community venues in our annual Readers’ Poll—this year’s Best of White Bear Lake 2023.

Our contest is live throughout January at whitebearlakemag.com, where you can vote for your “best of the best” in a growing number of categories.

While some of your favorite categories return for another year, our editorial team has included a few more sections that further embrace our retail and business communities. Curious? Go online to vote!

Here’s what you need to know:

Voting is live with three simple rules*:

  1. One entry is allowed per person; each ballot needs to include an email address.
  2. Ballots must be completed by 5 p.m. January 31, 2023.
  3. Voters need to vote in at least five categories to ensure their ballot is counted.

The top three finalists will be announced online on March 1, 2023. Watch for our much-anticipated Best of White Bear Lake in the July/August issue, where the winners and runners up will be revealed—along with Editor’s Picks and a host of other community highlights.

*Any rule not adhered to may result in entire surveys being discarded, and all results are subject to editorial discretion.
