Welcome to the Best of KC 2021.
 
Every year, Kansas City magazine gives readers the chance to celebrate their favorites by voting in our Reader's Choice Poll. The poll exploded in popularity last year, tallying 300,000 votes in the final round alone.
 
Write-in nominations are now open for this year's Best of KC Readers Poll, which will run until April 23.
 
After we’ve had time to tally the winners, up to five finalists in each category will advance to the final round of voting from May 13-June 17.

You can start nominating favorites in more than 300 categories. You may nominate once per category per day.
