After 18,887 submissions — including some hilarious write-ins, several ties and more than a few surprises — voting is now open for the final round in more than 130 categories.
Vote in the Best Of 2025 final round HERE until Friday, Nov. 28 at 11:59 p.m.
If you’re a finalist, you can also promote yourself / your business right on the Best Of ballot here and find the Best Of 2025 media kit for sharing on your social channels and website here.
In January 2026, we’ll drop the “Best of Rochester” issue. Also, we’re throwing an awards party at Anthology on January 3! Expect an even bigger celebration this year, complete with a hosted variety show… TICKETS HERE.
A last word: please don’t stuff the ballot, or encourage other CITY readers to do so. Let’s toast winners who fairly earn their titles.
