It’s baaaaack.

Creative Loafing’s annual Best Of The Bay—Tampa Bay’s longest-running “best of” contest and awards party—opened the voting today, and will keep polls open through Aug. 31.

In 2024, hundreds of awards are spread across nine categories, which readers helped select during a month-long nomination process.

Now it’s up to you to vote for your favorites (users can vote once a day). We’ll tally up the votes on Sept. 1 and start reaching out to the to finalists if they make the top three.

Voting in Creative Loafing’s 2024 Best of the Bay readers poll runs Aug. 1-31.  VOTE HERE.

Everyone is invited to join us next month for our annual Best of the Bay party at Tampa’s Hard Rock Event Center where readers can mingle with the winners, see the issue before it hits stands, and enjoy the best food and drink Tampa Bay has to offer.

For 35 years now, CL’s Best of the Bay has welcomed readers to chime in on their favorite people, places and events all to celebrate the things that make our neighborhoods so special—and we’re always amazed and grateful to be a part of the process with all of you. Thank you so much for your support and your love for the community.
