The public-nominated and voted for Awards reflect the true 'people's choice' when it comes to Dubai and the 2010
awards are now officially open for nominations in categories as diverse as hospitality, sports, customer service and
charity - these awards encompass all of the aspects that make Dubai the emirate to live, work and play in.
Katie Heskett, Editorial Director, Ahlan! says "There are many awards to be won in Dubai but when it comes to the
trophy that everyone wants to take home, it's the Ahlan! Best in Dubai. The only true people's choice award in the
city, these are the awards that aren't decided by a committee or panel - it's decided by people who live and work in
Dubai.
"They are the people that go to the restaurants, bars and hotels. They are the members of the clubs and societies.
They can see the impact the charities and initiatives are making in the city. They are the people who want to
recognize and celebrate the "best" in what they see around them and Ahlan! is proud to be able to help them do
that and help honour the city's achievements in The Best in Dubai 2010."
The shortlist will be announced on October 1st when voting will begin in earnest to find the Ahlan! Best of Dubai in
every category. The categories which are up for nominations throughout the month of September are listed below
and we encourage everyone to get nominating early to receive the popular early vote, which will be taken into
account when the shortlist is compiled.
