Best of Baltimore Readers Poll 2008

We cram our opinions down your gullets all year long, but once a year in that very special issue that is Best of Baltimore, we print your views on what makes you all tingly about living in Baltimore and what turns that tingle into more of a persistent itch. Of course, there are some rules.

• You must include your name and address along with a phone number and/or e-mail address where you can be reached.
• You have to vote in at least 25 categories.
• You can't use the same answer in more than three categories.
• No photocopies.
• No faxes.
• No more than one ballot per envelope.
• And, for the love of all the charm in Charm City, no ballot stuffing.
• You can encourage people to vote for you.
• You can link to the poll on your web site or hand them out at your business.
• But you can't fill out polls in other people's names.
• You can't write the name of your business or artistic endeavor beside the category you want to win and have other people fill out the rest of the ballot.
• And you can't mail in ballots for other people.

Remember, the interns who tally this poll cry when you cheat.

All ballots must be submitted by Aug. 29. The person with the best Best Reason We Should Invite You to the Best of Baltimore Party response will receive two invitations to the Sept. 18 BoB party.
