How to vote in Best of South Coast

Entries have been pouring in since voting for the 894 finalists of the Best of South Coast 2025 opened last week.
The finalists were published in a special nominations supplement on July 18.

The Herald has been inundated with emails, phone calls and WhatsApp messages enquiring about the competition.

Voting closes on Monday, August 4 for print and online entries – 17:00 and midnight respectively.

Excitement is building as the nominated businesses eagerly await the results of the final stage of the competition.

Winners will be announced in a special supplement in September, once the official results are audited by Chantel Elliott & Co.
