Voting is now open in the Time In Awards—a reader-voted celebration of the best responses to the 2020 lockdown in Miami. We’re paying tribute to the people and things that have done so much to enhance our lives at home over the past couple of months.
Time In’s editors have compiled a list of nominees and now we are throwing it open to the public to vote for the winners. We’re giving away 14 awards in four categories: Food & Drink Heroes; Community Champions; Arts & Entertainment Saviors; and Homebound Stars.
Now is your chance to vote and bring awareness to your favorite business or person in the community to help them rebound faster.
The last day to vote is July 1. The awards will be given away on our social media channels on Wednesday, July 8. Read our list of nominees below and head to the voting site to cast your vote.
Please note: write-in nominees should be relevant to the category in which they are submitted. Time Out reserves the right to discount inaccurate or inappropriate votes, and our decision is final.
