Editorial note

Feel free to use any parts of the press release and edit as necessary; you do not have to use the template in its entirety or ask our staff for final editorial approval.

However, when editing the template or writing your own press release, please be sure to note the full correct spelling of the awards program’s name: it is ‘Best in Biz Awards’. It is NOT ‘Best in Biz’, ‘Best-in-Biz,’ ‘Best in the Biz’ or ‘the Best in Biz Awards’ and as such, it should not be made singular/plural as in ‘won three Best in Biz awards’ or ‘was honored with a Best in Biz award’. Such singular/plural uses as in the above two examples are incorrect and should be rephrased with e.g. ‘won two awards in Best in Biz Awards’ or ‘was recognized in three categories in Best in Biz Awards’ instead. The name should only be used in full, with the correct spelling: ‘Best in Biz Awards’. Thank you in advance for your adherence to the guidelines.
