Nominate: Living in Joburg

How to Nominate

Nominate your favourite local businesses in the sub-categories below. Any business that receives at least one nomination will move to the voting phase (see rules for exceptions). Last year’s nominees are shown for your convenience, but any business has to be nominated again this year to be eligible for this year’s awards. Businesses listed in the sub-category drop-down boxes are not automatically nominated this year.

When nominating franchises or businesses with multiple branches, please include the specific branch name (e.g. SPAR Craighall, not just SPAR). Can’t find your choice listed? Select “*New Nomination” and type the business name in the text box provided.

Nominations close 16 June 2026 / Voting opens 28 July 2026
