Hi All,
It's official - the votes have been tallied, counted once, twice and probably even thrice. The winners are in - I repeat, the winners are in.
What am I talking about you ask? The 2012 edition of the Best of LI Press winners.
A total of 362 categories were polled (79 new ones!) and over 1.2 million total votes were cast. That - as the LI Press website proclaims - was about 50% more votes cast than in 2011.
The Long Island Press says that the survey was so big they had to put the BOLI (best of Long Island) in 3 separate issues.
Part I features winners in the following categories: Automotive, Education, Health-Wellness-Beauty, Home and Garden, Pets, Services and Shopping.
Part II features winners in the following categories: Food and Drink, Sports and Activities, Restaurants, Nightlife and Spirits, Art and Entertainment, and Clothing
Part III features winners in the following categories: Best of the Best Winners which spotlights the top 20 vote-getters in the whole contest and Best of LI Weddings.
And just to show you that the survey is remarkably thorough and comprehensive, I'm going to list the categories in the Education section. Categories were: arts schools, catholic schools, college president, college sports program, high school spirit, learning center business, Long Island College or University, nursery school, school principal, teacher, and trade school.
Now that is quite a comprehensive list!
Enjoy the links - hope they help you finding the best of whatever it is that you are looking for!
Regards,
Stu
