A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER

It is important to let everyone know how they got nominated and about the voting process.

Nomination ballots were sent out to over 200 businesses, restaurants, musicians, ad agencies, city officials, CV Weekly readers and CV Weekly staff who all nominated their choices in 76 categories.

They were not allowed to nominate in their own category. For example: if they were the owner of a Mexican restaurant they could not nominate in that category but could nominate other restaurants and someone in a heavy metal band couldn’t nominate in that category but could in the other music categories.

Those were then tallied and the 5 people in each category with the most nominations became the 5 on the ballots for you the public to vote on.

You can only vote one time from each computer IP address. You might think you can vote more than once but you cannot! I set it up this way to be as fair as possible to everyone.
So everybody get their vote on!
