For the first time ever, The Coronado News is hosting a “Best of” competition to recognize Coronado’s local business landscape.
The nomination period is now open through May 27, with a voting window running from May 1 to June 5.
The goal of the “2026 Best of Coronado News” is to highlight the businesses in the 92118 zip code that make our island town unique.
Eateries, small businesses, hotels, professionals, general services – you name it, there’s a “Best of” category for it, with a total list spanning 100 different categories.
Support your favorite local businesses by nominating them to receive a “Best of” award at https://bestofcoronadonews.voterfly.com/. Nominees must be located within the 92118 zip code or demonstrably serve the 92118 community. Eligibility is verified through the business license database, social media presence and official websites.
Winners will be chosen by the individuals who fill out the online voting ballot, which goes live on May 1. Once voting opens, each person may vote once per category through June 5.
VoterFly uses automated software to detect and prevent fraudulent voting practices. If a business is caught “stuffing ballots” or circumventing security measures, their votes will be flagged and removed.
This competition is meant to be enjoyable for all participants, bringing awareness to the enterprises that make Coronado a thriving community. The contest is driven by community input, as the winners are ultimately chosen through online voting.
