Vote For The Best Amphitheater: Have Your Say!
Being named the best or one of the best in whatever category you may be competing in is a great feeling. But it doesn't necessarily have to be a competition; just being great at what you do, or a business excels in, means you are one of the best.
USA Today has a 10Best Readers' Choice Awards section in their publication, which, as they put it, "Recommends ideas on where to go for your next weekend getaway or vacation and how to spend your downtime."
Readers, or anyone for that matter, can vote for categories including best kayak tour, best balloon ride, best adventure tour operator, and best bike tour. There are currently 39 categories to vote for.
