Help Determine Pottawattamie's Best! OMA Tourism Awards

The Omaha Metropolitan Area (OMA) Tourism Awards will honor attractions, restaurants, hotels, and retail shops that have made a difference in the lives of locals and visitors. The public is invited to honor those great memories and exceptional experiences by voting for the best tourism businesses in Pottawattamie, Douglas, and Sarpy counties.

The top five most nominated businesses in each county now move on to the final voting phase. In the event of a tie in the nomination process, there may be more than five in a category.
