The Centurion AwardsCenturion is starting where we live: Arizona. Here is why, and what comes first.
Why Arizona, and why Flagstaff first
We are starting close to home, in Flagstaff, with businesses we can verify carefully and visit in person if we need to. Flagstaff is a real test: a strong local economy, a steady flow of visitors, and a tight community of long-running small businesses. If the model works here, where reputations are personal and word travels fast, it will travel anywhere.
Tours first
Our first category is local tour operators. They live and die on reviews, they have clear track records to verify, and the best of them are exactly the kind of business that gets overlooked by pay-to-play lists. The first 2026 Flagstaff tour awards are now live.
What comes next
From there we expand by category inside the same city, then take the playbook to the next market. That expansion is already underway: Flagstaff now has verified winners in tours and breweries, and Tucson is live with restaurants, breweries, and music venues. We would rather earn trust one city at a time than put a national logo on a thin list.
Want in?
If you run a Flagstaff business with a real track record, or you want to nominate one you love, we want to hear from you. Nominate a business or read how the review works first.
A note for nearby cities: Phoenix and the rest of Arizona are on our map. The standard is the same everywhere. Start local, verify carefully, and publish only what we can stand behind.
