Each year Urban Tulsa Weekly asks its faithful readers to vote for their favorite hot spots, people, organizations, events, and so on. This year we received a crazy amount of ballots-- we're talkin' thousands. And considering how many close calls we had, each vote played a major contribution to who received boasting rights to Absolute Best of Tulsa in their category.

For all of you who shared your opinion this year, UTW personally thanks you (and no doubt so do the nominees and winners). Check out the Reader's Choice issue at UrbanTulsaWeekly to see if your nominee came out on top.

Also, don't hesitate to let us know about anything we left out. UTW is always looking for good category suggestions!

Thanks again readers!
