It’s time to show some love to your Louisville favorites. LEO Weekly’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards are here—and this year, we’re switching things up.

Starting August 1, nominate the people, places, businesses and organizations that make Louisville (and Southern Indiana!) a place worth bragging about. From late-night eats to local artists, dive bars to dog groomers, this is your chance to spotlight what you love most.

How It Works:

ROUND ONE: Nominations

  • Opens: 12:01 a.m. Friday, August 1
  • Closes: 11:59 p.m. Friday, August 29

Nominate your top picks in as many—or as few—categories as you like. Just make sure to register with a valid email address, or your vote won’t count.

You can submit once per day per email address throughout the nomination period.

The top 10 nominees in each category will move on to the final round.

ROUND TWO: Final Voting
Opens: 12:01 a.m. Monday, September 8
Closes: 11:59 p.m. Friday, September 12

Vote for your favorites among the Top 10 to help crown 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. One submission per email address per day.

Head to vote.leoweekly.com to nominate and vote.
