It’s time to celebrate the local gems that make Vancouver truly awesome!
The 2025 Vancouver Is Awesome Stars of Vancouver Readers’ Choice awards are officially open for voting, and it’s your chance to shine a spotlight on your favourite businesses in your community.
From the corner café that knows your order by heart to the fitness studio that keeps you motivated, the dry cleaner that always comes through, and the restaurant you recommend to everyone—this is your opportunity to give them the recognition they deserve.
With categories spanning dining, shopping, services, wellness, and more, these awards highlight the incredible diversity of businesses that help shape Vancouver’s unique neighbourhoods. Give some love to your salon, mortgage broker, or vintage shop and shout out your go-to for pet care, pizza, or patio hangout.
Whether it’s a long-time favourite or a hidden gem you’ve recently discovered, every vote counts in showing appreciation for these fantastic establishments.
