Wow! SFR readers submitted more than 28,000 votes in 30 days to pick the Best of Santa Fe!
Give us a little time while we set the bean counters to work adding up all those votes to name the winners.
Check back on May 27th online and in print for the official winners guide.
Nominees: This year, the Top 6 winners in each category are listed in the final guide – and our new year-round online site – so don’t wait to see if you are a winner… you already are! Contact our marketing department at 505-300-4087 to see how you can feature your business in the final winners guide and online when it goes live on May 27, 2026.
What’s new in 2026? We listened to nominees and voters that BOSF took too long so we’re investing in a bigger, faster and more impactful “Best of” season!
New for 2026, BOSF rolls out a condensed nominating and voting period to keep voters (and customers) more engaged and to announce winners before the busy summer season!
We’re also investing in new nomination and voting guides throughout the season to help nominees earn more votes.
AND… For the first time, Best of Santa Fe will be available online year-round online with a dedicated searchable website to help locals and visitors alike find nominees and winners anytime.
Contact your sales team member for more information about BOSF marketing packages to promote your business.
