Social The Magazine presents the people of the Triangle with the opportunity to vote online for the best restaurants, nightclubs, DJs, sushi bars, boutiques and salons in town.
People can nominate their favorite for each category, then celebrate in style with the nominees and winners at an extravagant Hollywood-style gala awards show. With the best hosts, DJ's, and food sampling in town, the Social Reader's Choice Awards is an all evening gala affair.
Every year, the Social Reader's Choice Awards Show is THE event to see and be seen.
The 3rd Annual Social Reader's Choice Awards in December 2008 featured popular hosts and entertainers, including nationally known comedians, bands and other performers, as well as local celebrities. During intermission, we featured a mini concert and musical set after the awards ceremony with top regional bands and musical performers.
The 4th Annual Social Magazine Reader's Choice Awards show will take place on September 12, 2010 so we can take advantage of more moderate weather and avoid conflicts with the busy holiday season. We want everyone to truly enjoy the red carpet experience! Announcements coming soon about this year’s hosts, special performers, celebrity guests, nominations, voting and ticket sales.
The 4th Annual Reader's Choice Awards Show is hosted by:
G105's Brody, Gellar & Creepy John - and will feature performances from top regional rock cover band EFFIGY and a featured celebrity guest appearance from Mindy of VH1 "Rock of Love" fame .
Major sponsors of the 4th Annual Reader's Choice Awards: Monster Energy Drink, Yellow Tail Wine, Bud Select, Pepsi, G105, and Perfect Vodka.
