"After half a century, and in the spirit of collective power, we've slimmed down and refreshed the poll's categories for a more streamlined voting experience. Rather than pit wonderful individual performers and artists against one another, we decided to focus on local organizations, small businesses, and unique things that remind us how much we love San Francisco and the Bay."
"That means a more shared and celebratory voting experience, and some exciting new categories like Best Night Market and Best Date Restaurant. There's still the classics like Best Burrito, Best Drag Show, Best Bookstore, and Best Strip Club, too! We see Best of the Bay as our chance to step back and appreciate all the good things going on here, rather than the mainstream media's relentless focus on the bad news about the Bay Area."
The 51st Annual Best of the Bay Readers' Poll invites Bay Area residents to vote for favorite local organizations, businesses, and unique regional attractions. Voting closes September 30, and an Annual Community Gala will celebrate winners on October 22. The poll has run since 1974 and now emphasizes a streamlined category list focused on community institutions rather than individual performers. New categories include Best Night Market and Best Date Restaurant while classic categories like Best Burrito and Best Drag Show remain. GOLDIES Arts Awards are hoped to return next year, and previous winners retain perpetual recognition. Support for community media is requested to sustain independent local coverage.
