About the Best Of Professional Services in Oakland and the East Bay
Oakland Magazine’s Best of Oakland was born with the idea to give readers in Oakland and throughout the East Bay a chance to voice their opinions on their personal ‘Family Favorite’ choices for Professional Services and all kinds of everyday categories. The program has evolved over the years, and hopefully, with a lot of input from our readers, we’ve been able to make it better and better.
The voting for Best of Oakland Professional Services is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of February with open write-in nominations for reader’s favorite Professional Services taking place. Write-in nominations continue to be open until the middle of April.
As the nomination period for Professional Services in the first round comes to a close in mid April, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominee Professional Services being selectable in this final round of voting during the month of April and May. Write-in nominations are no longer available, and voters are open to select their favorite Professional Services from among those that are listed.
The final winners are posted in July
We hope you enjoy! And we hope you cast your vote next year!
