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. Those local staples are what the West Michigan Woman Readers' Choice Awards are all about.

With categories reflective of sections of the magazine and website, the awards seek to highlight YOUR favorite local businesses and people who deserve to be recognized for the services and specialties they provide.

Earlier this fall, West Michigan Woman readers voted and rallied to have their voices heard—and the results are in. Keep reading to see our finalists and winners for the fourth annual Readers' Choice Awards.

*Categories with more than three businesses indicate a tie during the nomination period. Beneath the winner, remaining category finalists appear in alphabetical order.*
