About Us
USA TODAY 10Best empowers you to live well and travel smart by providing original, unbiased and experiential content.
10Best Readers' Choice Awards highlight the best of the best in contests covering categories such as destinations, food and drink, hotels, and things to do. Nominees in all categories are submitted by a panel of experts. The final set of nominees are selected by 10Best editors before being presented to the public. Readers can vote once per category, per day. We launch new contests every Monday at noon ET. After four weeks of voting, each contest closes, and we announce winners the following Friday.
10Best Interests pieces deliver the best of food, drink and travel from around the globe. Readers can make use of road trip itineraries, learn about regional foods, be inspired to take a DNA tourism tour, and everything in between.
10Best Travel Guides feature the best places to eat, things to see and do, and places to stay for top destinations in the U.S. and around the world. No business ever pays to be listed. At the heart of these Travel Guides is our team of local experts: a well-traveled and well-educated group who are experts in their fields - and their cities - as well as discriminating in their tastes. These local experts live in the cities they write about.
