It is time again to cast votes for the annual Marietta Times Readers’ Choice Awards.

The nomination round featured nearly 2,500 businesses, organizations and individuals recognized for being the best at what they do in the Mid-Ohio Valley. The votes from May narrowed each category down to the top 5.

Categories include 10 different classifications: body and soul, entertainment and travel, food and dining, health and beauty, home and garden, kids and education, pets, services, shopping, and vehicles.

“We are down to the last round – where we will choose one winner and two finalists for all categories,” said Lisa Northcraft, advertising director for the Times. “Remember to go and vote for your favorite in each category.”

Starting today, readers can go to www.mariettatimes.com/readerschoice to vote per day to crown the winners and top two finalists in each category. The votes will be tallied by an independent third party and winners will be announced July 22 both online at www.mariettatimes.com and in the print edition.
