As a past participant in Oakland Magazine's annual Best Of Oakland & the East Bay contest, we're letting you know that nominations will close at month's end. In our version of the presidential primaries, you may write-in as many or as few nominations as you would like until Feb. 28. Then, in our general election, you'll select a winner from among the finalists in each category.
Remember the rules. We celebrate local, independent operators. Only one vote per person or device. Ballot-stuffers and foreign hackers will be disqualified.
