The Best of the Bay contest is returning with a new look and updated categories, ensuring it reflects current life in the Bay Area. The contest allows residents to honor their favorite local people and places. The event spans from September 2 to September 31, culminating in a Winners' Party and Gala on October 22. Originally launched in 1974, the contest is a participatory city guide, created by the people for the people of the Bay Area, and has been celebrating local excellence for fifty-one years.
After a half-century of honoring everything from Best Plumber to Best Fudge, Best Politician to Best Politician You Love To Hate, we're giving Best of the Bay a whole new look.
Join us September 2-September 31 in showering the Bay Area with kudos in this beloved Bay Area tradition.
In 1974, Esquire magazine asked the Bay Guardian for ideas for its Best of the USA issue, which led us to publish the original Best of the Bay.
Made by the people of the Bay Area for the people of the Bay Area, it's our annual opportunity to celebrate the people and places that make this city great.
