We're still early in the Best of Tucson voting process, but we're seeing some runaway successes already. There are a few categories where I can look at the results and say, "yeah, I bet I can guess who is going to end up in the finals." 

However, there are still more than a few categories that are all tied up. Now, I can't tell you who is neck and neck right now but these are the most competitive titles:

Best Art Classes
Best Charity Event
Best Photographer
Best Auto Repair
Best Game Store
Best Blog
Best Home Furnishings 
Best Local Clothing Designer
Best Day Spa
Best Hair Salon
Best Kid's Clothing
Best Diner
Best Veggie Burger
Best Smoothies
Best Sandwich (the actual sandwich)
Best Contemporary/Fusion Restaurant
Best Eastside Restaurant
Best Downtown Restaurant 
Best Chef
Best Menudo
Best Botanica
Best Musical Act
Best Happy Hour
Best Comedy Night

Have an opinion in one of those categories? Well, get to filling our your ballot!

Remember, you need to fill out at least 30 categories for your ballot to count, but you can pick which 30+ categories you vote in. We're only accepting nominations of local, non-chain institutions. 

Obviously, those categories listed about are not our only titles left to be settled. We'll be pickin' five finalists for every category—and sometimes an underdog takes the win during the final round of voting.

So fill out you ballot, and tell your friends to do the same. These votes help spread the word about your favorite things in Tucson.

Heads up: Your name is your password. If you've ever filled out a Best of Tucson survey, you need to login by typing your name the same way you did before. Maybe you didn't include your last name before? Or ran your entire name together without any capitals? If the survey won't let you in and you can't figure out why, send me an email: chelo@tucsonlocalmedia.com.

Also: Remember that commenting below does not count as a vote. You have to fill out a ballot, obviously.
