Welcome to Best of River Valley

We are excited to bring you our fourth edition of the Best of River Valley Awards Magazine. This year, the 2024 Best of River Valley contest had over 999,000 votes cast. This is a 163% increase year-over-year! We increased our categories up to 236 different options which resulted in 708 awards.

​

With our large contest area ranging from Sallisaw to Russellville, and from Mountainburg to Waldron, to be named in the top three in any category is an accomplishment. Our goal is to create economic lift and overall promotion of the River Valley, while engaging the community in celebrating the places, restaurants and local businesses that make our area unique. We highlight efforts to discover and celebrate the businesses, people and places we love most, as voted by our local community: You.
