It’s finally Nappie Time!
Because of the shutdown, we delayed voting in the Nappies Finals. But as businesses are now being allowed to open back up, we can now announce the finalists and dates.
Nappie Finals voting will begin at noon on Wednesday, June 3 and will conclude at midnight on June 28 at votenappies.com. The winners will be announced in July. We have not made a decision on the ceremony yet, as we will have to see if it will be possible to adhere to social distancing guidelines, but we will still be giving out banners to the winners even if we are not able to have the ceremony, and we will still have our annual Readers’ Choice Awards issue. We also have some fun back-up plans in mind too for the ceremony should we not be able to have it at The Saenger. But we hope to be back at the Saenger with all of you, of course!
Today, we are announcing the nominees in KIDS. We will announce City Life finalists on Wednesday, Eats and Drinks and Nightlife on Thursday and Media, Arts and Politicos on Friday. The reason for this is we are still tabulating, so please be patient if you are in another category. We will announce them as soon as we have them ready.
These are sneak peeks for our subscribers only, as a thank you for the much-needed support you have given us through this crisis. But the full list will be on www.votenappies.com on May 29 for non-subscribers.
We do our best to make sure names are spelled correctly with help from “The Google,” but the voters enter in the names, so some times some slip by us. If you have a spelling correction, please email nappie@lagniappemobile.com with the subject line Spelling Correction, and we will get it updated.
So without further adieu, we present the 2020 Nappie KIDS finalists…
