It’s time to get stoked to vote. Grab a seat on a beach towel, dig those toes into a little bit of Central Coast sand, and maybe crack a beer (in a can, not glass, people) as you figure out who’s going to win everyone’s favorite annual contest. We’re asking you, dear readers, to pick your favorite local businesses, leaders, restaurants, bars, and community members who can charge it, make the drop, and ride. But we don’t want any junk yard dogs, bennies, or barnies. We only want the raddest professionals, because our annual readers’ poll ain’t no ankle slapper. New Times’ Best of San Luis Obispo County contest is a heavy party wave, waiting for you to take off. You must fill out at least 30 categories for your ballot to be counted. Ballots are due Monday, March 13, by 5 p.m., and we will announce the winners on May 4!

One ballot per person. To prevent ballot-box stuffing (also known as cheating), all ballots must include the name and a valid email address of the voter, for verification purposes only. Ballots without this information will be disqualified. All information is kept in complete confidence.
