Welcome to our favorite issue of the year, The Triad’s Best! As many of you may know, this is our biggest issue all year, and something we spend several months working on.
People from all over North America, Europe, Asia, and even as far as Australia made their voices heard by choosing all of their Triad favorites. We are excited to see how the economy has bounced back and the growth that has surrounded local events, festivals, and businesses.
With a renewed sense of community and pride, sit back and celebrate the winners and runners-up of the Triad’s Best readers’ poll. While you’ll see familiar winners, we hope this issue will be an opportunity for you to discover many newcomers who have won some of the top awards. The way we listed everyone this year is pretty simple: There are “first-place winners,” “second-place winners,” and “runners-up.” As voting was fierce and highly competitive, you will see additional runners-up listed. This was done due to the closeness of the vote counts, and in some cases, ties in the runner-up categories. For the first time in history, we also have some first-place ties. This year’s contest was really a tough one and one that we won’t forget any time soon.
