It’s time to show your city some love, Orlando. 

Our annual Best of Orlando® Readers’ Choice Poll is open now through May 6, 2026, for you to write in your nominations for all the best people, places and things in Orlando. The top nominees from the first round will move on to the Best of Orlando® Finals round, from June 3 to July 15.

The Best of Orlando® Readers’ Choice poll asks for your insights in almost 350 categories: Drinking & Nightlife, Shopping, Local Music, Food & Dining, City Life and more. 

One single write-in vote in this round will likely not put an entity into the “top nominees” list and move them to the finals, so whether you’re just sharing your deep O-town knowledge or you are in it to win it, encourage everyone you know — friends, family, fans, followers — to nominate you now.  

Winners will be revealed in Orlando Weekly’s Best of Orlando® issue on Aug. 19, 2026.
