Best of State judges assess nominations based on three categories – overall excellence and quality of a company's products or service, ability to differentiate themselves, and efforts to help improve the quality of life in the local community. Community service, charitable contributions, family friendly employment policies, environmentally sound practices or policies, increased employment opportunities, and cultural contributions are a few examples of what nominees are evaluated on.
