Best of the Best Badge Use

All use of the Cityview Best of the Best trademark is subject to the following provisions:

1. If you wish to use the winner badge, please download the digital files here. This artwork must not be modified in any way, including manipulation of the award year indicated upon it. If you are promoting the award on your website, please link back to our online listings: https://www.cityviewmag.com/best-of-the-best-access-form
2. If the award was presented to an individual, the badge must not be used in connection with an organization or a company name without clearly identifying the professionals selected for the Cityview magazine Best of the Best award, the year of their individual award, and the winning category of each professional.
3. Any misuse of the Cityview logo or the Best of the Best badge will result in permanent removal from participation in future polls. For example: a third-place winner may not use a gold badge, which represents a first-place win.

We must insist that you follow these specific guidelines to preserve the integrity of this award and to increase its value to you and the other winners. In addition, Cityview Magazine reserves the right to use your name in its list of 2024 Cityview Magazine Best of the Best award winners.
