The events submitted must occur between the following time frames:

An independent panel of judges considers criteria such as:
- Size and past audience of the event and room for growth within the event.
- Complete and timely application by the event coordinator.
- Geographic and seasonal date distribution relative to other events.
- Top Ten award winners are chosen to represent, as a whole, the variety of experiences that define Vermont, such as celebrations of arts, history, agriculture, gardening, community, recreation, and so on.
Winners have access to the signature Top Ten logo, as well as additional marketing opportunities. Certificates are awarded to ten winners in each seasonal category. Top Ten contest winners, their descriptions, and photos, are prominently featured in the Vermont Winter Vacation Guide (circulation 100,000) or the Vermont Vacation Guide for Summer/Fall (circulation 200,000). Published by the Vermont Chamber, these guides are the official travel guides of the State of Vermont, fulfilling all inquiries to 1-800-VERMONT and the website of the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing, www.VermontVacation.com.
