Welcome to the inaugural edition of Best of the Rose City!
We couldn’t be more thrilled to launch a program that celebrates the vibrant spirit, innovative businesses, and standout individuals that make Portland truly unique. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, thriving arts scene, eco-conscious culture, and culinary wonders, Portland embodies the best of Oregon — and we’re here to honor those who make it exceptional.
NERUS Strategies has proudly produced BEST OF programs across North America since 2017, spotlighting the best in Las Vegas, the Pacific Northwest, Miami-Dade, DFW, and beyond. Building on the success of Best of the Willamette Valley, launched five years ago to celebrate our headquarters’ home turf, it only made sense to expand into Portland — one of America’s most celebrated cities. With Best of the Rose City, we’re thrilled to highlight the best across Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties.
This contest is more than a list; it’s a community-driven celebration with over 8,000 businesses, organizations, and individuals competing across 271 categories. We aim to build this program into an annual tradition that brings our communities together, shines a spotlight on local excellence, and supports the thriving businesses that make Portland unique.
