After thousands of votes, the results of the sixth annual ByBlacks People's Choice Awards are in!

Here's how it all worked:

The awards were announced in September 2023 and a public nomination process began in October 2023.

Our readers submitted their favourite Artist, Book, and Business across several categories. Self-nominations were permitted and the nomination period closed at midnight on October 31, 2023.

From there, ByBlacks.com selected the top three nominees with the highest number of individual nominations as finalists in each category.

The voting portal opened on December 15, 2023. Readers had until midnight January 15, 2024, to vote, and were allowed to vote once per day.

Congratulations to all the winners! This award means you are loved out there - you must be doing something right!
