Vote for the Locally Loved Award

The nominees for the Locally Loved Award are made up of the nominees for the 2026 NAME. The winner will be announced at the 2026 NAME on DATE.

This award celebrates the businesses and organizations that have earned a special place in the hearts of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. They’re the places you choose to spend your money, the businesses you recommend to friends and family, and the organizations you trust, value and keep coming back to.

Think about the businesses that stand out in your community. Where do you love to go? Who consistently delivers an experience worth talking about? Who do you turn to for trusted service or advice? Whether they’ve built an exceptional reputation, created memorable customer experiences, become a valued part of their community, or simply earned your loyalty year after year, Locally Loved is your chance to recognize them.

Unlike our other awards, this one is decided by you; the customers, patrons and clients that allow our business community to thrive. Every nominee across all award categories is eligible for the Locally Loved Award, and the public is invited to vote for the nominee they believe deserves the title. Public voting will determine the top three finalists, who will remain under wraps until the Gala. Then, Gala attendees will cast the final votes and crown the first-ever Locally Loved Award winner.
