    The end is near! 2019 has almost come to a close, which means it’s time once again to celebrate the greatest people, places and things that made your year interesting here in Columbus! Once again, we’re asking our readers to help nominate the best restaurants, artists, entertainers, venues, businesses and nonprofits that are worthy of special attention in our annual Best Of lists.

    If you’re new to this process, here’s how it works. In this preliminary round of nominations, we’re asking for submissions and nominations for each category. Once nominations are collected, a panel of local judges and experts will weigh in to determine which nominations make the cut for the final results. This two-step approach has allowed us to curate a collection of editorial picks that most accurately define your year in Columbus.

    The CU Best of 2019 survey is 39 questions in length and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. You have until Wednesday, December 4th at midnight to nominate your favorites! The results will be revealed between December 18 and 31 here on Columbus Underground.
