The Best of Germany 2026 results are calculated by polling military community members living in Germany via the www.StripesEurope.com website. There are two phases:
Phase One: Nominations
Voters had the opportunity to write in nominations for their favorite local business in each category. The nomination survey was open for two weeks in June 2025.
Phase Two: Voting
