CTAS Cintas Corporation

Time is running out to submit nominations for the 10th annual America’s Best Restroom Award, presented by Cintas Corporation. Submissions can be made at www.bestrestroom.com through April 15, 2011.

Cintas’ America’s Best Restroom contest is open to any non-residential restroom accessible to the general public. “The America’s Best Restroom contest recognizes businesses that go above and beyond in the design and cleanliness of their restrooms. Whether you want to promote your own business or bring recognition to a favorite restaurant, hotel, school or other establishment, we invite you to submit a name and picture,” says Rich Bing, Cintas Senior Marketing Manager. Past champions have featured unique décor, sparkling fixtures, spacious accommodations and breathtaking skyline views.

New this year, fans can place nominations and vote at www.bestrestroom.com from any web-enabled mobile device. Powered by Usablenet, a global technology leader for multichannel customer engagement, the mobile website is a fast and easy way to nominate a deserving restroom while on-the-go.

In addition to making nominations, the Internet public is also invited to visit the America’s Best Restroom Facebook page, Twitter account and YouTube Channel to post comments, receive contest updates, share photos or upload videos; links to all three sites are on the contest homepage.

Cintas will announce up to ten finalists in July, at which time online voting will begin. The winner will be crowned in September and receive the coveted America’s Best Restroom plaque of recognition from Cintas during a ceremony at the champion’s location. The top five nominees with the most votes will secure a place in the America’s Best Restroom Hall of Fame, which is housed on the official website.
