Congratulations to the 2021 Best of Albany Honorees!


While we suffered some technical difficulties with the virtual presentation (our sincere apologies to all who attempted to tune in and were not successful), we are excited to announce the results of this years Best of Albany program!

The second Best of Albany Awards Gala was held September 27 2018 in the beautiful outdoor space at Belmont Village. 

2021 Best of Albany Results

With more than 250 nomination submissions, and over 2,700 final vote submissions, the people have spoken, and here are the nominees and winners of the 2021 Best of Albany program.

Votes in most of the categories were very close. We think it's an honor even to have been nominated, so we are delighted to congratulate every business or individual that participated.
