The Andalusia Star-News has kicked off its annual Readers’ Choice Awards, allowing readers to submit their nominations in hundreds of categories.

The Readers’ Choice Awards recognize the very best that Covington County has to offer by recognizing local businesses and other organizations. Nominations can be entered on the Star- News’ Contests page at andalusiastarnews.com/contests through July 16 at 11 p.m.

The process is easy. Simply go to andalusiastarnews.com/contests, choose a category, and register with your email address to begin filling in your nominations. Once you are registered you will not have to do that again, even in the voting round.

Once the nomination round concludes, the top three nominees will move into the voting phase to determine this year’s Readers’ Choice Award winners, which will be announced in September. The voting round will begin July 31 and end August 25. Winners will be announced online and in the 2023 Readers’ Choice Winners print edition in September.
