2023 Readers’ Choice Awards

What makes a community? Undoubtedly, the magic comes from its people. Our lives wouldn't be what they are without the stellar local establishments found around every corner of West Michigan, from the newly-founded to the well-established and everything in between.

That's why we created the West Michigan Woman Readers' Choice Awards. With categories reflective of each section of the magazine and our content, the awards seek to highlight YOUR favorite local businesses and people who deserve to be recognized for the services and specialties they provide.

Voting is now closed. The final results are in the Dec '23/Jan '24 issue of West Michigan Woman.
