About The Best of YMM Process
Your McMurray Magazine is hosting the Best of YMM for a second time through its reader’s choice program.
Your McMurray Magazine shares the nomination and voting announcements on its social media platforms and through its newsletter. Nominations and voting are by any resident living within the Wood Buffalo region with one nomination or vote per day.
The first round of voting begins with nominations sent in through our Best of YMM form. For the second rounding of voting, the results from the nominations are calculated and the top five from each category are selected in a new form and voted on by the public.
Residents and businesses can self-nominate and vote, once a day. They are also encouraged to share the nomination and voting forms on their social media platforms to let others know to take part.
