Each spring, The Plainsman publishes a review of the best things about Auburn. The best restaurants, coffee shops, professors, athletes and more are deemed Plainsman’s Choice for that year. In the past, The Plainsman staff voted to select the winners.
This year, the editorial board at The Plainsman decided that the best should be determined by you. No longer are the rich, privileged media elite (broke student journalists) the arbiters of value in this town.
We’ve turned Plainsman’s Choice into a readers' poll this year, and later in March, you’ll vote for your favorites in a wide range of categories. For some categories, we were able to narrow the list down to four reasonable options we felt accurately reflected the community’s favorites. For others, we either weren’t sure or knew there were too many good options, so we decided to do a preliminary round of nominations.
We’re accepting nominations for the following categories:
Best of Auburn Culture
- Coffee shop
- Hangover food
- Bar event
- First date spot
Best of Campus
- Professor
- Student organization
- Student event
Best Businesses
- Grocery store
- Gym
- Place to get a haircut
- Boutique
- Thrift store
- New store
Best of Sports
- Male athlete
- Female athlete
- Best Game
- Best Twitter follow
The form is open until Wednesday, March 16 at 11:59 p.m. CDT, at which point we will collect the top responses to be included in the final poll, which opens on Friday, March 18, and runs for one week.
