Wyoming Online Voting Contests

Sheridan Press Athlete of the Week

The Sheridan Press's own weekly fan-vote poll for Sheridan County high school athletes, hosted independently on Second Street App — separate from the statewide WyoPreps/Townsquare vote used across the rest of Wyoming. Anyone can vote online, and a new ballot goes up each week of the school sports season.

Wyoming High School Athlete of the Week

Statewide Wyoming · WyoPreps (Townsquare Media Casper)

Statewide weekly fan poll and editorial award run by WyoPreps — Wyoming's dedicated high school sports platform — honoring one male and one female student-athlete each week across all WHSAA-sanctioned sports, all four classifications, and all 72 member schools.

Wyoming High School Player of the Year

Statewide Wyoming · WyoPreps

WyoPreps runs an annual, sport-by-sport Player of the Year cycle covering 28 separate awards between August 2025 and August 2026, with a fan-vote component feeding each sport's honor. Coverage spans Wyoming's 1A through 4A classifications, from Jackson Hole to Sheridan to Cheyenne, with no login needed to cast a ballot.

Wyoming Milward Simpson Award

Statewide Wyoming · WyoPreps / Milward Simpson Foundation

WyoPreps and the Milward Simpson Foundation jointly present Wyoming's single annual statewide athlete honor. 2026 finalists are named at wyopreps.com, chosen through public deliberation with a counted fan-vote element rather than a raw leaderboard, and the winner is confirmed at a June 20, 2026 ceremony in Cody.

WyoPreps Basketball Player of the Year

Statewide Wyoming · WyoPreps

WyoPreps' annual Basketball Player of the Year honor blends reader nominations, fan votes, and coach input across Wyoming's basketball season. The 2026 boys 3A-4A all-state list and Player of the Year call are confirmed and published on WyoPreps; a comparable girls program runs alongside it. No account is required to take part.

WyoPreps Football Player of the Year

Statewide Wyoming · WyoPreps

WyoPreps folds football into its statewide, 28-award Player of the Year program, running one nomination and fan-vote pipeline from August 2025 through August 2026. Football also gets a standalone honor: the 2025 3A-4A All-Conference roster WyoPreps published in November 2025. No football-specific vote page or confirmed winner name is separately archived.

WyoPreps Volleyball Player of the Year

The single-sport volleyball slice of WyoPreps' 28-award Athlete/Player of the Year series, sponsored by Premier Bone and Joint Centers and hosted on Townsquare Media radio pages such as kowb1290.com — a fan-nomination poll that advises, but does not by itself decide, the final WyoPreps staff call.

Best of Jackson Hole

Buckrail's 15-year readers-choice ballot for the Jackson Hole valley — a nominate-then-vote contest that pulled roughly 90,000 votes and over 7,000 nominations in 2025, with results published in a free Locals' Guidebook.

Best of Wyoming

Wyoming's only statewide readers-choice ballot: the Casper Star-Tribune runs it across 100+ categories, while Cheyenne, Laramie, and Gillette each have their own separate regional best-of contest.

Cap City's Best

Cap City News's annual Cheyenne readers'-choice ballot, branded this cycle as Cap City's Best: Readers' Choice 2026 at capcity.news/best/, built on the same page format County 17 runs in Gillette, and run under a separate organizer from the Wyoming Tribune Eagle's own Cheyenne ballot.

Casper Star-Tribune Best of Wyoming

Casper Star-Tribune runs Wyoming's statewide Best of Wyoming readers-choice awards annually at trib.com/contests/best-of-wyoming/. The Lee Enterprises paper opens public nominations for local businesses each cycle, a launch it confirmed on its own Facebook page with the line "Best of Wyoming has started! Nominate all your favorite businesses."

CommunityVotes Cheyenne

CommunityVotes Cheyenne is Metroland Media's annual best-of readers-choice program at cheyenne.communityvotes.com, the fourth such program confirmed running in Wyoming's capital. The site's "Promote Your Business" page confirms an active, business-facing operation verified live in 2025, though its full category list and vote cap are not published here.

County 17's Best

County 17's annual Campbell County readers'-choice program at county17.com/best/, branded this cycle as Readers' Choice 2026. Nominations closed April 19, public voting opened May 20, and County 17 confirms no pay-to-play placement, so a business's own turnout decides its category rather than a paid tier.

Laramie's Best of the Best

The Laramie Boomerang's annual readers-choice ballot for Albany County, 142 categories deep, that ends with an in-person awards banquet rather than a quiet online results post.

Oil City's Best

Oil City News's annual Casper and Natrona County readers' choice awards, confirmed at oilcity.news/best/ under the title "Oil City's Best: Readers' Choice 2025." A separate program from the Casper Star-Tribune's statewide Best of Wyoming ballot, run by a different local outlet in the same city.

Wyoming Tribune Eagle Best of the Best

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle's annual readers-choice ballot for Cheyenne and Laramie County, run on the same wyomingnews.com platform as the Laramie Boomerang's contest, in a capital-city market where three other best-of programs also compete for the same nomination.
