2023 UPPY Awards Nominations

It’s time for the third annual UPPY Awards, an honor specifically for food and beverage professionals. Our subscribers know Charlotte’s restaurant scene, so we’re asking you to nominate the best chefs, restaurants, and hospitality professionals in Charlotte. We’ll celebrate them on Nov. 13 at Middle C Jazz!

Each subscriber may vote once and your e-mail must match the e-mail on your UP account. If you are a PR professional, we ask that you vote as a diner. Submissions by PR reps will be vetted to ensure they are not purely promotion of clients.

This vote is open to UP members only to ensure our honorees are selected by those who are dedicated to the food scene. The top vote getters will be each category’s finalists, with editors’ discretion. The winners will be selected by UP staff.

You do not need to nominate in each category for your vote to be counted.

Nominations are now closed. Finalists will be announced in mid-October. Winners will be announced at the UPPY Awards on Nov. 13!
