The time has come again, Creamies: It’s time for the Artvoice Best of Buffalo awards.
Last year Cocktails and Cream Puffs was honored to be a Finalist for Best Blog, and we’d like your help to do it again.
Here’s how it works: You vote online at www.best.artvoice.com . Because we believe in absolute democracy, we don’t offer you a limited range of choices in each category; we don’t edit your votes; we don’t put our thumbs on the scales in any manner. It’s all up to you.
For your ballot to count, you must respond in at least 20 categories by April 16th. All ballots with at least 20 valid answers by the deadline will be automatically counted; there is no additional step to submit or finalize your votes. One vote per person.
Obviously the main category we would like you to vote for is BEST BLOG, but you still need 19 other categories to vote for to make your vote count. So, we have provided a list of our favorites in a bunch of categories as suggestions. If you have someone, something, or some place you would like added to our guide, send us an email at mail@cocktailsandcreampuffs.com and we will give you a shout out,
THANK YOU!
