Winners will be recognized in our BOM issue in February 2021.
Bre Parks says
Under the BOM Best Personal Trainer Vote the name should be, “Bre Parks at Zenergy Cycling”.
Savannah Carr says
Hi Bre — thanks for letting us know. I just updated this.
Zoey says
How many times does a company have to be nominated before their business is listed on the site as a nominee?
Savannah Carr says
Hi Zoey — Your nomination will be checked by the site’s administrators within 48 hours. After approval, your nomination will show up on the nomination ballot.
After the nomination round ends, we tally the votes to determine the finalists moving on to the final voting round in each category—usually three, but from two to six depending on the number of legitimate contenders and the competitiveness in the top ranks.
Michael says
I am trying to nominate, Family Wealth Management, Morgantown WV- Tim Matthew, financial advisor.

Thank you, Michael
Savannah Carr says
Hi Michael! Please double check that you submitted your nomination. After submission, your nomination will be checked by the site’s administrators. After approval, your nomination will show up on the nomination ballot.
Mary says
I vote. for exzotic Jungle on the. mile ground Lov the place an the people ?
Montani Mental Health LLC says
Have you thought about adding a category for best mental health/therapy office?
Savannah Carr says
Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion.
Now that BOM has reached 101 categories, we’ve capped it at that. If we hear that a new or former category is sorely missed, we may try to put it on the ballot next year.
Lisa Tiberio says
It’s Howard Hanna. There should not be an H on the end of Hanna.
Savannah Carr says
Hi Lisa! Thanks for the correction. I have fixed it on the nomination ballot.
Zoe Lance says
Why is there no category for “Best Dog Trainer/Training?”
Savannah Carr says
Hi Zoe! Great question!
We sometimes omit categories to try new ones—dozens of categories are suggested to us each year. Now that BOM has reached 101 categories, we’ve capped it at that. If we hear that a category is sorely missed, we may try to give it a go in future years.
I will share your suggestion with our BOM team and keep it in mind for next year’s BOM.
Jacobs says
Hi, I nominated an artist but as I scrolled up the page, touching the screen activated the “change nomination” function and appears to have no way to correct it. Suggestions?
Savannah Carr says
Hi there — I don’t understand what you mean? Can you please email info@newsouthmedia.com and give us more details so we can help you out. Thank you!
Joe says
Under the Best Breakfast category I was shocked to see that Tudor’s Biscuit World (a former multiple winner) was not even listed as an option to vote for — is that due to its professional status or is it because it’s in a category of its own?
Savannah Carr says
Hi Joe! Almost anyone can be nominated in BOM, including chain restaurants and franchises. If you would like to see them on the nomination ballot please feel free to nominate them.
Alex Wiederspiel says
Under best radio station: you have 91.7 FM/U92 and then 92.7 The Moose. There is no 92.7 The Moose.
It is U92 the Moose, also known as 91.7 FM. 92.7FM is actually a country station called WGIE.
Savannah Carr says
Hi Alex — thanks for the heads up. We will look into this and correct it.
Michelle says
Why is there no category for Seamstress/Alterations?
Savannah Carr says
Hi Michelle! Great question!

SR says
I wish Breakfast and Brunch were separate categories, because they are absolutely not the same thing! Brunch is a leisurely mid-morning meal on Sunday. Breakfast is a morning meal every day of the week. I want different things from a breakfast than I do a brunch!
Savannah Carr says
Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion. I will share with our BOM team for the future.
Venus Warnick says
Are you ever going to include a category for Custom/Alteration Service? Ten years and never a category for my business Bella Cucire.

Angela says
Hi, hope you can combine nominations for Vandeysen Law and Van Deysen Law. Google auto fill recognizes our 2 offices but misspells our Morgantown office. Thanks!
Savannah Carr says
Hi Angela! We can! Thanks for the heads-up!
Have a great day!
Autumn says
Hi! If we did not make it to the next round is there a way to find out how close we were? I am just curious as I have 33,000 social media followers and I don’t know how I didn’t make it to the final round. Did the voters have to be located in Morgantown in order for the votes to count? Thank you!
Savannah Carr says
Best photographer is a very competitive field. All nominations count. We’ve moved the top nominees to the final round. Your big social media network may need another year to get used to the idea of what BOM is and how to nominate. Better luck next year!
Autumn says
Yep, apparently so! Thanks for the quick response! I’m excited to continue to vote for my friends that made it to the next round 🙂
Savannah Carr says
Awesome! Thanks for participating!
Sophie Ren says
Very nice restaurant ? I love it ☺️
James Schindler says
I would have never been able to retire comfortably, were it not for John Stolar, Al Poe, and staff!
I have been ill and unable to handle my finances as I have done for decades. Were it not for these folks, who took a HUGE load off of my back, a group I was able to implicitly trust at every turn, with every detail, I don’t know what I would do.
Truly, GOD blessed me by leading me to these folks!
Respectfully, Gratefully,
James. C. Schindler
James Schindler says
Nice venue!!
Chris says
I think it is a shame, Big Red’s Shanty did not make your best burger list. Definitely one of, if not the best burgers in Morgantown!
Savannah Carr says
We love to hear that Big Red Shanty has a great burger! Next year, rally your friends and family to nominate them.
