Y’all: It’s that time of year again to show thanks to all the local organizations (and individuals) that have made this year easier to navigate through — to find joy in; to find gratitude with; to help us celebrate all the things that make San Francisco unmistakably unique.

For 2022, we're launching Underscore’s first-ever Best of Awards, signal boosting the best SF businesses, culture makers, and downright bad-ass locals who deserve a round of applause. Below, you'll find over two dozen categories to nominate people/organizations/businesses for this calendar year. Those who receive the most votes to fall in the top four nominations in their respective categories will be placed on the voting ballot.

The deadline to nominate any one person, business, or organization is Thursday, December 22nd. Voting for the most nominated candidates and business will begin on Friday, December 23rd, and will close Thursday, December 29th. Winners of Underscore_SF’s Best of 2022 Awards will be announced on Friday, December 30th.

Signal boost away — but, please, only write one entry for each category.
