We’re ready to celebrate the sixth annual Tallahassee Community’s Choice Awards, recognizing the Big Bend’s favorites in more than 130 categories from doughnut shops to dentists, from clothing to car dealerships. You nominated the top 5+ businesses in each category and now we need your votes.
The contest has three stages: nominations, voting and then a celebration of the Winner and Top 2 finalists in each category.
Voting is now open for the top 3 businesses in each category; one Winner and 2 finalists. If you vote in more than 25 categories, you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win a $250 gift card. Voting closes on Tuesday, June 30.
Here’s how to vote
The top 3 companies or organizations per category will be announced in the special Winners section publishing in our Tallahassee Community’s Choice publication on Sept. 13, 2026.
So get to voting for favorite restaurants, stores, salons, car dealers, plumbers, veterinarians, bars, bakeries, banks and more, because voting is now open!
