Deadline Approaching for Best of Moore & South OKC by Rob Morris
W
hen we kicked off the inaugural “Best of Moore & South OKC” contest last year, we were pretty sure local residents would be excited for the chance to share their pride in local establishments. But the actual response was overwhelming. Our Facebook page, email, and website (TheMooreDaily.com) was flooded with nominations, votes, and comments. So this year we decided to expand the process to make sure everyone had a chance to participate. Part one of that process has been the nomination period, which began on October 1. That nomination period is now in the final stages. You can still help us compile a complete list of participants by nominating your favorites in any or all of our 42 categories simply by commenting on our Facebook page or by emailing rob@mooremonthly.com. But you’ll need to get your nominations in no later than November 15, because on November 16, we’ll announce our finalists. When the finalists have been determined, voters will be able to cast their ballots for their favorites in each of the 42 categories, beginning on December 16 and ending at 11:59 p.m. on January 31. All voting will be done on our website. We’ll be revealing the winners of the “Best of Moore & South OKC” contest later in February at a special dinner that we promise will be loaded with fun and festivities. The winners will also be revealed in the March edition of the Moore Monthly magazine.
