Community Choice Awards — rules

1. Any published listing that meets a category's eligibility rules can be nominated. Businesses can't nominate themselves more than once per category.
2. Nominations and votes must be confirmed by email. One vote per person per category.
3. Finalists are chosen from the most-nominated eligible places. Our team may exclude a finalist only for a published reason (for example, the business has closed).
4. Votes are checked for fraud: automated or bulk voting, disposable email addresses and unusual patterns are reviewed, and invalid votes are removed before counting.
5. A winner is declared only if the category reaches its minimum number of verified votes.
6. Votes, rankings and results can't be bought. Paid plans and sponsored placements play no part.
7. Winners get free digital recognition. Printed stickers, certificates and plaques are optional extras — never required to win or to use the digital badge.
8. Community Choice Awards reflect community opinion only. They are not a halal certification or an assessment of halal status.
9. Our decision on results is final, but you can ask us to review any concern.
