From bookstores to breweries, museums to marinas, we want to know what Maine businesses and organizations you're rooting for. Between now and April 12, write in your Maine favorites in as many of the following 65 categories as you like. We'll put the most nominated entries on a multiple-choice ballot for the final round of our Best of Maine Readers' Choice poll in May!

 

Voting is simple!

 

• Click below to start. Registration requires a quick confirmation of your email address. Check your spam/junk folder if you don't see it right away. (This prevents repeat voting — we won't send you anything unless you ask.)
  
  
• The ballot will guide you from category to category. Don't have a preference? Just click "Skip" to move to the next category, or click "Browse" (upper right) to surf categories. 
  
  
• After writing in your nomination in the appropriate category, simply click the "Nominate" button to officially submit your nomination. Return to vote.downeast.com at any time before April 13 to make nominations in more categories.
  
  
• No national chains, please! We're out to recognize Maine businesses and organizations and the people who make them great.
