Help us honor Tennessee’s Best. The 2022 Best of Tennessee Readers’ Choice Awards will recognize winners from across the Volunteer State in more than 25 individual categories. Just for nominating your favorites, you’ll be entered in a sweepstakes for great Tennessee-themed prizes.
Vote in as many or as few categories as you feel knowledgeable, but keep in mind that only ballots with 15 or more categories with at least one vote will be eligible for the prize drawing.
You can vote for up to three “Bests” in any given category. As an example, if you have a favorite state park in each region of the state — West, Middle and East — then you can vote for one in each. Be as specific as possible, and please include the towns where businesses or parks are located. Generic answers will not be counted. To celebrate the uniqueness of Tennessee, please exclude national franchises and chains (restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, etc.) from your responses.
