WHO: This annual Most Loved Santa Monica contest (now in its 6th year) is an initiative of the Buy Local Santa Monica Committee and the Santa Monica Daily Press in partnership with our local business improvement districts (Downtown Santa Monica, Inc., Main Street, Montana Avenue and Pico Boulevard), the Santa Monica Chamber, Santa Monica Pier Corp., Santa Monica Travel and Tourism and the City of Santa Monica. Thank you to our partners for their support!
WHAT: The "Most Loved Santa Monica Businesses" Contest was launched in 2014 by the Buy Local Santa Monica Committee. Now in its sixth year, the contest has grown rapidly. We invite our residents of all ages, local employees and visitors to participate. From most loved coffee bar to the favorite Santa Monica Farmers Markets' vendor, we put the call out to discover and celebrate the Most Loved Businesses in Santa Monica. This year, we have also added a few new categories including “Most Loved Santa Monica New Business” and “Most Loved Santa Monica Legacy Business (30+ years).” We want to know which businesses our locals cannot live without, which ones put smiles on their faces when they drop in, and the ones we most want to celebrate because they are so awesome.
In 2018, over 3,200 people responded by voting for their favorite local businesses (a three-fold increase from 2016)! For more information on Buy Local Santa Monica and this annual contest, visit www.BuyLocalSM.com. To view last year’s winners: www.BuyLocalSM.com/most-loved
