  The larger community in Los Angeles  was invited to smell the finalists in the weeks leading up to the awards, and cast a ballot listing their favorites in each category. The awards team then tallied the votes.

This totally informal game generated over 175 ballots. We are thrilled to share the public favorites, in each category.
