Welcome to Columbus' People's Choice
We are excited to once again celebrate the businesses, people, and places that make Columbus such a vibrant and proud community — all selected by the people who know it best: you.
Our readers and residents take great pride in their communities, and that hometown knowledge is exactly why the Ledger-Enquirer launched this program. Columbus’ People’s Choice was created to spotlight the businesses and individuals that go above and beyond, while supporting the local economy and helping the community thrive.
This year, the enthusiasm was as strong as ever. Over 2,200 businesses, organizations, and individuals were nominated across 202 categories, and more than 186,000 votes were cast. That incredible participation is a true reflection of how much the people of Columbus value and support their local favorites.

Bringing a contest of this size to life takes a passionate local team and strong community backing. We are especially grateful to our advertisers and sponsors, whose support makes this program possible year after year.
To everyone who took the time to vote — thank you. Your participation helps shine a spotlight on the outstanding businesses and individuals that make Columbus such a special place.
We invite you to explore ColumbusPeoplesChoice.com, connect with the winners, and support the many deserving businesses recognized in this year’s edition. Whether they are longtime staples or exciting new discoveries, each one is proud to be part of what makes Columbus great.
Congratulations to all who were voted Columbus’ People’s Choice!
