VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE BandB AND QUALIFY TO WIN BEDANDBREAKFAST.COM GIFT CERTIFICATES
Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards allow inngoers to choose their favorite inns.

Austin, TX - Unlike lists compiled by "authorities" the Best of BedandBreakfast.com Awards allows regular inngoers -- who are the real experts at judging the best BandBs -- to vote for their favorite BandBs and inns. This totally web-based contest lets travelers judge BandBs in ten different categories, from romance to business travel, and qualify to win gift certificates good for visits to their favorite inns.

To vote, visit www.BedandBreakfast.com and click the voting badge on the home page. Voters access the ballots directly from their favorite inn's page on the site. To show appreciation to inngoers for taking the time to vote, BedandBreakfast.com will draw names monthly for a $100 BedandBreakfast.com gift certificate, welcomed at more than 3500 participating U.S. inns. One lucky voter will win a $500 grand prize gift certificate at the conclusion of the voting in April, 2005.

Voters can recognize their favorite BandBs in the following categories:
• Best overall
• Most romantic
• Most family friendly
• Most business traveler friendly
• Most pet friendly
• Best food
• Best service
• Best value
• Best hospitality
• Best breakfast
Each person may vote for their favorite BandB once per category, but changes can be made when new favorites are found. Voting ends April 30, 2005, and winners will be announced June 1, 2005. For more information, go to http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/AwardsWinners.aspx.
