Welcome to the 8th annual Santa Barbara News-Press Reader's Choice Awards. This year, thousands of your votes were received - stuffed in the ballot boxes and digitally delivered through newspress.com. Carefully collected, counted and recorded, they now reveal your choice picks for the best of Santa Barbara. Following are th official winning results. Find out who took First Place for Best Burrito, or which beach has the best waves. We hope you'll find some of your personal favorites here, or maybe get a few hints for new things to check out around town. The entries in our annual sweepstakes drawing have also been chosen - two lucky readers are winners, as well. Congratulations to Kurt Weiss, who won our Title Sponsor Grand Prize: a 7-day cruise for 2 to Club Med, courtesy of Santa Barbara Travel Bureau - and Gary Clark, the winner of our Supporting Sponsor Prize, a 46" Mitsubishi High Definition TV, courtesy of Holser & Bailey TV Appliances Center.
Special thanks to all of the participating readers who took the time to cast a vote - and to all of this year's winners... Congratulations! We hope you'll consider this award to be one of the most reputable honors in Santa Barbara. You are the Reader's Choice.
