We were reminded recently by a reader and category winner that this is the tenth edition of the Best of The Best Reader Survey. A lot has changed since the first winners were published in January of 2005. We have added, deleted, and changed categories, sometimes at the request of readers and potential winners, and sometimes, just because it made sense to us. It is after all, hard to reach consensus on who is the best teacher or doctor. Everybody thinks theirs is the winner.

In the first years all the ballots were paper, and it took hours and hours to tabulate and count the votes, something we really hadn’t considered. In recent years, we made it possible to vote online which has simplified our job somewhat, but caused other issues with ballot box stuffing from multiple votes being cast. That too, has been tightened up. You can still vote multiple times by paper ballots, but it takes some effort. We still count all paper ballots submitted by the deadline. We are happy with the direction and changes we have made, and believe that the results represent what the majority of you, our readers, want for winners.

The reader we mentioned earlier had another idea which we liked. He suggested special recognition for those categories that had won all ten years. They are printed on page 31 and we invite you to celebrate with them. Interestingly, some winners have won every year they had a category, but not ten years, and some are nine for ten, but only this list won all ten years. We are pretty confident of this list, but if you think we overlooked someone, let us know and we’ll print a correction.
