Update
The nomination round has closed — it’s still time to vote in Best of Eugene!
Readers nominated their top choices, we counted them and now it’s time for the runoff round!
Reminder: Eugene Weekly doesn’t choose the nominees or the winners — you do!
Did your favorite something not make it to the top five or six? Don’t lose hope: Go to the “Extra Credit” section and vote in “Best Category we didn’t have and who would win” then come up with a category like “Best Barista who is also a childless cat lady” and write in your fav — and campaign for them. That’s how Caffè Pacori won “Best Bathroom” and graced the cover of the Weekly last year!

It’s time to vote in Best of Eugene! Here’s the basic rules
First, keep it local but also know— it’s all of Lane County!
This is the nomination round. It will be followed by a runoff round. You may vote once in each round. We will only count your vote if you fill in 10 or more categories and provide contact info for verification.
We’re going to say it again — the contest is limited to local and locally based people and institutions.
If you are a business or a person who wants to be nominated for a category encourage you to click on the free Register My Business link on the ballot, which will help us make sure we have your information correct. Please note you have to have a URL to register. We suggest if for example you are running for Best Librarian that you use the library website if you don’t have a personal one.
If you really want to promote your business, you can also, for the first time, take out an ad.
Nominations end noon Sept. 9 and the runoff round begins Sept. 12 and ends noon Oct. 4.
