OU Daily's Best of Norman community polling is now live and will run from June 11 through Aug. 17.

This year’s issue features 30 categories with three nominees each. Community members are encouraged to vote for their favorite Norman businesses and organizations or submit a write-in nomination.

Winners will be featured in OU Daily’s Best of Norman Guide this fall. 

PRIOR BEST OF NORMAN WINNERS: 2024 | 2023 | 2022 

For this year’s issue, OU Daily set out to highlight a wide range of Norman businesses and organizations. The fall culture staff, led by culture editor Madisson Cameron, curated a list of nominees that reflect Norman’s diverse interests.

Locally-owned businesses were prioritized when it made sense for the category, and each nominee appears in only one category to ensure broad representation.
