Itās that time of year again! š
If youāre filling out the local favorites ballot, Iād be so honored if youād consider me for your favorite photographer! It truly means so much to have your support year after year.
And donāt worry⦠you donāt have to search forever. š Itās 9th from the bottom of the form! š
I appreciate every single one of you! ā¤ļø now go vote for all your local favorites!!
The time has come and nominations are now open for Best of the Boot 2026!
For all you first-timers, hereās how this is going to work:
- Nominations will remain open through the end of July. Simply click on the link in the comments to type in your favorites.
- At the beginning of August, voting will begin.
- The August digital vote (we will share the link here) will be the ONLY vote and will be combined with the paper ballots that will appear in Wayne Week and are returned to our office by our subscribers.
- Finalists (the Top 3 in every category) will get their Best of the Boot Finalist stickers by early September.
- The winners will be revealed in our award-winning Best of the Boot magazine at the end of the year. Once we notify all of the finalists, we will begin curating the content for the magazine.
- Winners will receive a free poster to hang in their office, shop, home, etc. and copies of the magazine.
Note: A link to the digital version of the 2025 BOB magazine is currently on the right rail of the New Old North site homepage. Hard copies of that magazine are still available at our office on John Street and if, for whatever reason, you did not receive your finalist sticker or winner poster, we have those, too, so shoot us a DM or email [email protected] and we will get you covered.
With that, good luck everyone, and have a great week Wayne County!
