Vote for your favorite local people, places, businesses and more
UPDATE: Voting is now closed. Stay tuned for our August issue to find out who is Best of the West!
Revue is happy to announce our first-ever “best of” readers poll — the Best of the West contest. This online survey asks our West Michigan readers to nominate and vote for their most-loved local businesses, people and things to do. It’s simple: Just visit revuewm.com/bestofthewest and select your picks.
All nominees are submitted by voters, so write in your own favorites if you don't see them on the list!
Categories include your favorite spots to eat, drink and shop, as well as top local musicians, artists and more. From “Best New Restaurant” and “Best Dive Bar” to “Best Book Store” and “Best Auto Repair,” the competition spans our entire community.
Since Revue covers all of West Michigan — not just Grand Rapids — winning a Best of the West Award means wide-spread bragging rights for its winners.
The top 3 winners of each category will be published in our August 2016 issue, along with staff picks.
