Welcome to the City Pulse 2010 Top of the Town Awards!

This year we have eight categories with a total of 106 subcategories. We encourage you to vote in all of them, but you may vote in as many as you wish. And then we encourage you to enter the drawing for tickets to “Cirque du Soleil: Alegria" and other great prizes.

Here is how this works:

The voting is separated into eight categories, each with its own voting page. Complete each page and click the “submit” button at the bottom to be directed to the next page.

Each time you vote, you can select one of the choices someone else has nominated, or you can nominate your own.

Don't worry too much about spelling. We'll correct that daily.

If you are the first one to vote, then you'll have to make the first nomination, which you do by using the dropdown menu in each category to "Create Your Own." If you're the second (or later) person to vote, you can select a choice made by an earlier voter or you can add to the list of nominees with your "Create Your Own" choice. The next voter will see your choice (but not your name) on the dropdown menu.

When you are finished, hit “submit.” Then you can enter the sweepstakes to be eligible to win great prizes, including tickets to "Cirque du Soleil: Alegria." (You must vote in the TOTT Awards to be eligible.) If you have any problems voting, please notify us at TOTT@lansingcitypulse.com.

IMPORTANT: If the business you are nominating has more than one location, be sure to indicate as specifically as possible which location, such as "on Cedar" or "West Lansing." We won't be able to count your entry if we cannot tell which location it is.

Have fun! And pick up City Pulse on April 7 to find out who won!
