Best of the Vineyard. The words convey prestige and pride for the many Island businesses who vie for the honor. But ultimately it’s the public that decides which Island businesses and organizations are the very best at what they do.

To cast your vote in the 2013 Best of Vineyard awards, go to mvmagazine.com. Voting in 83 categories — including new categories Best Place for People Watching, Best Interior Designer and Best Island-Made Candy/Chocolate — is open through midnight on March 31. The winners and runners-up will be published in the July issue of Martha’s Vineyard Magazine.

Martha’s Vineyard Magazine has been sponsoring the Best of the Vineyard awards since 2001, carrying on a tradition begun by the Vineyard Gazette in 1996. Voting is limited to one ballot per person, with a minimum of five categories required per ballot.
