Creative Loafing Best of Atlanta 2008 Voting Begins

Creative Loafing have opened the polls for their 2008 Best of Atlanta voting.

You have until July 11, 2008 to complete your ballot. ANYONE ANYWHERE CAN VOTE. You only have to select 10 categories to vote in, and we've made some suggestions below to help you fill out your categories.

For all the musicians, venues, artists, stores, and restaurants in the Atlanta area, this is a big deal and to be selected is quite an honor.

I personally have won one of these awards in 2007 and 2005, and am asking for your vote again this year (the 2 arrowed items in italics and bold below).
