Best of Chico finalists

See the full list of 2024 nominees below; Voting for the finals opens July 1

What local super-places and super-people made the final ballot?

The Chico News & Review has revealed the Best of Chico 2024 nominees! The top five vote-getters in each category are listed below. Thank you, voters! And congratulations, nominees!

Voting in the Best of Chico finals started July 1 and ran through July 30. Voting has now closed.

Visit bestofchico.newsreview.com for the latest updates and to vote.

Note: There are a handful of categories with less than five nominees. In most instances, those were all the places/people receiving votes in that particular category. In a few instances, there were ties for fifth place, with dozens of nominees receiving just one vote. In the interest of not overcrowding some of the categories, we left the nominees at the four receiving multiple votes.
