It’s that time again.

The Uptown News/Downtown News annual Best of Uptown & Downtown San Diego competition is under way.

You, our readers, get to nominate and vote on the best businesses in Uptown and Downtown San Diego, ranging from who has the best cocktails to who holds the title of best veterinarian — and so many categories in between.

It’s a great way to showcase your favorite spots and acknowledge their superior work and services.

Nominees must be in uptown or downtown San Diego.

Nominations are happening now, and voting opens Friday at bestofuptowndowntownsd.voterfly.com.

Local business owners can also visit the site to claim their business listings and use our built-in promotion tools.

For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, contact media@numbersix.com.

Winners will be recognized online, in print and with a certificate.
