The Roundabout · Annual
Best of Milton
Milton's own little Oscars. Twenty-nine categories, picked by the people who live here. Nothing decided by us.
How it works
Nominate
Write in your pick for any of the 29 categories that matter to you. Skip the rest.
Vote
Top three nominees per category become finalists. Vote on the field — one ballot per email.
Reveal
Winners go live in The Roundabout's August Sunday issue. Each gets a Readers' Pick badge plus a Roundabout honorable mention.
The fine print
- Optional categories. Vote in one or all twenty-nine.
- Optional newsletter. You don't have to subscribe to vote — but you can opt in if you want.
- Email verification. One-click magic link. Ballots only count after you verify.
- No editorial agenda. The Roundabout hasn't reviewed any of these places. Winners come from voters, not us.
- Sponsors can't win. If a Roundabout sponsor is nominated in a category they sponsor, they're disqualified. (Year 1: no category sponsorships at all.)
- No elected officials. We don't run categories for political figures.
