“It’s great to have new winners and first-time nominees,” said Emily Altomare, Communications and Tourism Manager for the Oil Region Alliance of Business, Industry and Tourism (ORA). “The competition is really heating up.”

For the first time in contest history, Best Dish and Best Drink were not won by the same establishment.

“There are so many unique features of the Oil Region, and this is a great way for residents and guests to share the ones they’re most passionate about with others,” Altomare said.

More than 600 people voted in this year’s contest between more than 80 nominees. “We’re starting to see some friendly rivalries form and the nominating and voting process is really rallying the local customer base,” said Altomare, “We have so much to offer in our region and this is a great way to show that off.”
