FAQs
How do nominees get on our Best of Denver Readers’ Choice ballot? The previous year’s winner is automatically added along with other past-year top vote getters; you can buy a Vote for Me advertising package to secure a spot (email advertising@westword.com to learn more); and there is a write-in field.
How often can readers vote? Readers can vote daily while the Readers' Choice poll is live to declare their favorites in more than 230 categories.
How do Editorial picks work? While readers declare who is named a Readers' Choice winner, Editorial picks (below) are determined by our editors and writers. While the editorial staffers keep the Best of Denver in mind all year as they’re out and about in the city, they’re still taking suggestions for people, places and things to check out. Send suggestions to editorial@westword.com.
If I win, do I get a plaque? All of our winners, both Readers' Choice and editorial picks, will receive a certificate of their award for free. (If you are contacted by a business trying to sell your plaque, that business is not associated with Best of Denver or Westword.)
