Every year, the Charleston City Paper hosts the Best of Charleston awards, with hundreds of categories to vote for the best local everything. It’s an exciting time of year for many local businesses and people, as these awards have become quite popular, and offer a source of legitimacy and prestige to the winner.

That time of year has rolled around again, and the finalists for each category have recently been announced. Final voting is now live and open until March 8th.

The most coveted category of them all is Best Charlestonian. This award represents Charleston’s favorite local personality. It has gone to Bill Murray for many years in a row now, but this year, things are different. One of our very own, Chris Gardner, is nominated for the category, and he’s in the running to win it all.

You may know Chris Gardner from our Instagram, but it’s even more likely that you know him from just being around town. He’s one of the friendliest, most open-minded and supportive people you will ever meet, and he’s always down for a good time.

If you’ve met Chris Gardner, it’s an easy choice to vote for him. If you haven’t met Chris Gardner, all you have to do is go see live music in Charleston and you are almost guaranteed to see him there, having the time of his life and spreading the love. Simply introduce yourself and he’ll be happy to talk to you.
