The nominations for the 2025 CP Listies are all in! TIME TO VOTE!

by Peggy Robin


Your voice counts! Let us know who you think has earned our award, a Cleveland Park LISTY, in any of these seven categories.

If you need to get up to speed on what's been nominated in each of the seven categories, you can read each post with the 5 nominees at these links (all links within  All Life Is Local, the CP Listserv's associated blog -- no membership or password required to read in full):


There are many ways to vote -- no voter ID required!:
  • Vote the ballot on Survey Monkey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LFNCNKK
  • Print the attached ballot (MS Word), mark it, and mail it to: Cleveland Park Listserv, 3409 Ashley Terrace, NW WDC 20008
  • Print the attached ballot (MS Word), mark it, and scan it or photograph it, attach it to an email and send it to:  clevelandparklistservmoderator@gmail.com
  • Hit "forward" on this email message and address it to clevelandparklistservmoderator@gmail.com. Now you will be able to type in an X on the line before your preferred nominees in the body of this email. When you have marked all your choices, hit "send."
  • Start a new email to clevelandparklistservmoderator@groups.io. You don't need to include the ballot. Just type in some sentences to tell us your votes in as many categories as you like: e.g., For "Best Animal Story" I vote for "Piotr the Great" (this example is is for illustrative purposes only - it's not intended to give a boost to this particular nominee!)

It's fine for other members of your household to vote, too. You can send in a marked ballot for each voter, or put household members' initials on the line before their preferred nominee in each category on the same ballot. And yes, your children get a vote (assuming they can read and express their own opintion!).

DEADLINE for your vote to be counted: 5 PM on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2025.
