Winners: Best of Kunming Awards 2018-2019

By in Features on

Voting has concluded and the results have been tallied for the Best of Kunming Awards 2018-2019. Just as with last year, participation was up over previous iterations. Thank you to everyone who took the time to cast a ballot both on the website and via WeChat. Winners were recognized at the sixth annual Best of Kunming Awards Gala on Saturday, January 12, and it was a great night! We'll publish a complete write-up of the event soon.

For this year's results, we included the winners and runners up for website voting, both followed by the percentage of total votes received by each. Below those winners — in categories where it is applicable — are those businesses and places which won on WeChat. Some of the categories were extremely close this time around, with first, second and sometime third places separated by only a few ballots. And now, without further ado, the winners for the Best of Kunming Awards 2018-2019...

There were no losers in this annual award. Each nominee provides excellent venues. It would be nice if Gokm (hint hint) posted a list of the nominees also...and as an added compensated or not benefit - each nominee and winner could then post the Gokm award or nomination logo on their review sites in the Gokm listings (added revenues for Gokm, to help offset updates and enhanced or new features...just a suggestion.

Would be interesting to see how many people voted, in each category.

Numbers not percentages
