Official rules

ActiveDayton's Best of Dayton contest is a way for our site visitors to informally express their opinions about local entertainment options. Don't mistake it for market research or scientific opinion polling. Nominees in each category are chosen by the ActiveDayton staff from our own knowledge and suggestions from readers. If your business gets left out of the voting, please don't take it personally.

Voting is restricted to one vote per computer per hour, but you can get as many of your friends as you want to vote every hour. Totals registered by our servers will be considered final.

Voting in each category will run from noon-ish Monday until noon-ish the following Monday. We're human and that's lunch time, so there might be a little variation on when voting will begin and end. But we'll count votes until we officially end the voting.

If your business wins your category, we're fine with you advertising that you were voted "Best of Dayton" in your category, just as long as you mention that the voting was on ActiveDayton.com. Put it on signs, coasters, tatoos or menus — everyone should know how good you are. But you really shouldn't be talking about this year's win more than a couple of years down the road — going any longer than that is sort of like the Cincinnati Reds telling everyone how great they are because they won the World Series in 1990.
