The room was buzzing Tuesday night at Pardini’s in Fresno as The Business Journal honored the companies that stand out in our annual readers’ poll competition.

100 people representing winners and finalists were invited to come together to see who was crowned winner of our ninth annual Best of Central Valley Business Readers’ Choice Awards.

From a very humble start in 2014 when we received a total of 22,000 votes, this year’s contest started off with around 210,000 votes – a 40% increase from last year. Voters posted their favorite 35 categories on thebusinessjournal.com from September 1 to October 31.

Be sure to check out the Friday print edition of Business Daily for more information on the winners.

Several companies made their debut on Winners’ Circle. These include Mayor Jerry Dyer, Fortune Associates, Keller Williams, Dyson Janzen Architects, Precision Civil Engineering, Fresno Lexus, Moss Adams, First American Title, and Harris Ranch Inn & Restaurant.

We always welcome feedback on contests or suggestions for new categories. Please contact Abner Garcia, Marketing Manager at abner@thebusinessjournal.com.
