It’s time to celebrate Winona’s most loved attractions as chosen by YOU! The annual Tourism Awards are divided into two categories: Hidden Gem and People’s Choice, each capturing a short list of nominees from our very, very long list of wonderful ways to be entertained in Winona.

The nomination process will continue through April 28, with the top five nominees in each category going on to compete as finalists in voting that will continue until May 12. Winners will be announced at our always-entertaining Tourism Awards Night, which is scheduled for May 21. RSVPS for the event will open when the finalists are announced.

These nominations are designed with tourists in mind. People’s Choice features businesses and attractions that we know bring people to Winona. Hidden Gem spotlights some of the wonderful discoveries visitors may make while they are in town. Thank you for helping us honor Winona’s amazing offerings.

For the nomination process, you may select up to five nominees (all on the same form) in each category, and you can only submit each form one time. Below, the Hidden Gem nomination form is first and the People’s Choice is second. When you complete and submit the Hidden Gem form, you will be redirected back to this page so you can complete the People’s Choice nomination form. Over-votes will not be counted and will cause forms to be disqualified.
