Ravenswood is putting its favorites to a vote — and this is one election you won't want to sit out. The Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce has officially launched its annual Best of Ravenswood Awards, inviting neighbors and visitors alike to cast their votes for the local businesses that make this community such a special place to live, work, and explore. With 15 categories on the ballot — including Favorite Emerging Business and Favorite Place to Treat Yourself — the awards shine a well-deserved spotlight on the shops, restaurants, studios, and services that give Ravenswood its one-of-a-kind character.

The Best of Ravenswood Awards are more than just a popularity contest — they're a love letter from the community to the small business owners who pour their hearts into this neighborhood every single day. Whether it's your go-to morning coffee spot, the boutique you can't stop recommending to friends, or that hidden gem restaurant you've claimed as your own, now is the moment to make your voice count.

With Ravenswood On Tap just days away (July 18–19) and a summer packed with community energy, the timing couldn't be better to celebrate what makes the neighborhood thrive.
