2027 Perfect in Walton County Nominations Open

Event Description

Nominations for the 2027 Perfect in Walton County Awards can be submitted from Monday, July 27, through Friday, Aug. 14. During this time, locals and visitors can nominate their favorite businesses, events and activities using the online form only available at perfectinwaltoncounty.com.

Nominations can be written in for as many or as few categories as you like, but only one online form per email address will be accepted. Every nomination counts! Visitor-facing businesses are encouraged to ask their guests, customers, followers, friends and family to nominate them in any of the 30 categories.

To qualify, businesses and individuals must primarily be in and serve Walton County. Additionally, those providing beach services (such as photographers, yoga instructors, bonfire organizers, chair vendors, etc.) must hold a current vendor permit from the Walton County Code Compliance Department. Please review the contest rules here.

The top five nominees in each category will move on to the final voting round Aug. 31 through Sept. 18. The top three businesses with the highest number of votes in each category will be recognized as Diamond, Platinum or Gold winners at the Perfect in Walton County Awards presentation in January 2027. These winners will be promoted in print and online by Walton County Tourism throughout the year.
