For the 5th year, the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, the Register-Star, and the Chatham Courier present the Best of Columbia County competition.

The Best of Columbia County allows county residents, and visitors to make their voices heard in deciding the best of the best in a broad field of over 85 categories–including best bar, best burger, best plumber, best florist, and best Real Estate Company. The awards also provide winners with a yearlong opportunity to tout their goods or services in advertising as the 2018 award recipient.

The first round of voting, the nomination round, began on April 1, and ends on April 30. The top three vote getters of each category will move on to Round Two, the final round (May 5 through May 31), which will determine a winner from each category. Winners will be announced during an Academy Award style show, held at the Columbia County fairgrounds in Chatham on June 22.

In each of the categories, you can select one of the listed options, or write in your own. Here’s my shameless plug – Beach & Bartolo Realtors has won Best Realtor for the past two years, and we would love to win again.
