E-mail: Vayda Parrish, VaydaParrish@CapeFear.com

 

Best of Virginia: We do not accept nominations for Best of Virginia; it’s a write-in poll, so voters can vote for any business they choose. For notifications, follow us on Facebook and/or subscribe to our Editorial Projects newsletter. (Link on website or here; you must click the confirmation email and “manage subscription” to choose Editorial Projects.)
 

Dining, Drink, and Recipes: We welcome queries related to the many wonderful food options available in Virginia. We do not cover businesses located outside the state. For recipes, a chef must be willing to write the recipes and cook them with a photographer and stylist in the kitchen. 
 

Travel: We are only covering destinations in Virginia. 
 

Bonus Material: We accept submissions and press releases for our bonus projects on a rolling basis. Please add us to your press release list (see below). If you want to be on our list for specific project-related emails, please contact Vayda Parrish, VaydaParrish@CapeFear.com.
