The Andalusia Star-News is proud to announce the winners of the 2021 Readers Choice contest.

The contest began in June with a new digital format that greatly increased public involvement. The first phase of the contest provided readers to nominate their favorites in a variety of categories. The top nominees were then entered into a digital ballot where the public voted between the nominees to determine winners in each category. The voting phase began August 2 and concluded on August 21.

The new digital format led to 2,042 nominations and a total of 36,590 votes, which are huge increases from the previous print version of the contest.

All of us at the Star-News are excited about the level of participation in this years Readers Choice Awards. The digital format opened the door to greater involvement and input from the community. There was a learning curve for our staff as we worked through the process and we already have ideas to improve next years contest. We want to thank everyone who participated and congratulate this years winners, said Star-News Publisher Robert Blankenship
