The Finalists (in alphabetical order)

How We’ll Pick the Winners

#1: Initial qualification:

A page must have a compelling Facebook presence, must have been nominated multiple times by multiple individuals and must be regularly updated. If someone nominated more than one page, only the first nomination was counted.

#2: Final winner selection:

Quality of Facebook page: Our judges will examine and score the Facebook page of each finalist (65% of decision).

Fan engagement: Facebook pages that have regular comments from readers are another sign of a healthy page. In addition, the number of nominations for a specific page plays a part in this (35%).

Congratulations to the finalists! We’ll announce the winners here soon!
