The 2026 Houston’s Best Awards have wrapped up, but you may still have questions about your recognition, winner resources, or what comes next. We’ve answered some of the most common post-awards questions below.

What if I won but couldn’t attend the awards ceremony?

Your recognition still stands! You don’t need to attend the ceremony to win. We list all 2026 winners on the Houston’s Best website, and you can celebrate and promote your award throughout the year.

I didn’t attend. Can I still get a certificate?

We provide certificates to businesses that attend the awards ceremony in person. If you couldn’t attend, you won’t receive a certificate, but that doesn’t change your official Houston’s Best recognition.

Where can I download my Houston’s Best winner graphics?

Log in to your online dashboard to download your complimentary winner graphics. Add them to your website, share them on social media, include them in emails, or display them in your business to promote your win.

Can I still purchase a Houston’s Best plaque?

Yes! Official Houston’s Best plaques are available for purchase through your online dashboard. Displaying your plaque in your office, storefront, lobby, or reception area is an easy way to showcase your recognition to customers throughout the year.

Can I update my business information?

Yes. Your online dashboard is also where you can review and update your business information. Keeping your listing current helps ensure customers and our team have accurate information about your business.

How can I promote my Houston’s Best win?

Start with the resources available in your dashboard. Download your complimentary winner graphics, share your recognition on social media and your website, and consider displaying an official plaque at your business. You can also thank your customers for their support and link to the official Houston’s Best winners list.

When do nominations open for the 2027 Houston’s Best Awards?

Nominations are open year-round. Nominations received after the cutoff for the 2026 program will be considered for the 2027 Houston’s Best Awards.
