Let your favorites be heard! Voting is now open for the 2018 Best of Erie Awards. 

To vote: go here and confirm your email address. 

Now in its fifth year, the Best of Erie Awards have swiftly become the benchmark for local accolades. In 111 different categories, hundreds of local contenders have risen to the top.

The ballot is grouped by four different ampersand-ed subsets:

Goods & Services

The businesses, products, and shops that are the lifeblood of our local economy. 

Culture & Nightlife

Our community's music, arts, and culture that entertain and enlighten us.

Food & Drink

Edibles and potables and the wonderful places that have them.

People & Places

The individuals and locals that are celebrating our city.

 

Your ballot is editable, and you are not required to vote for every single category. Navigate the categories using the sidebar (accessible through the menu button at right on mobile devices).

 Voting is open until Friday, Nov. 30.  

 

Previous winners: 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017
