The Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce will recognize exemplary business leaders by presenting awards to six local businesses at this year’s Best of Beverly Hills Golden Palm Awards Gala in the spring.

Voting is open to the public through Dec. 31, and the chamber is encouraging people to vote for the best business in each category.

The winners will be announced in January. One vote per person will count, and participants do not need to be a chamber member or live in Beverly Hills. Chamber members are able to submit one additional vote per member business.

“We are extremely proud to have an opportunity to celebrate this year’s Golden Palm finalists and all of their contributions to our community,” said the chamber’s executive director Todd Johnson.

The winners will be selected based on the highest number of votes received combining both voting types. The public voting results will be weighted at 50 percent and chamber member voting results will be weighted at 50 percent. The public can vote at surveymonkey.com/r/bobh2016publicvote.

“The Best of Beverly Hills Award finalists are wonderful examples of what Beverly Hills stands for, as a world-renown destination for travel, tourism and business,” said chamber president David Haimovitz.

The Beverly Press and Park Labrea News, established 70 years ago, is one of the finalists in the category of best small business exemplifying community support. Other finalists for the category include OMEGA International Group, Bobbe Joy Makeup Studio and Kirn Radio.
