TO OUR READERS: We are in the middle of our annual Muskogee Phoenix Readers' Choice awards process. We've taken your nominations and soon will be able to tell you when voting starts!

TO OUR ADVERTISERS: There are companies out there who try to sell you plaques saying you've won our contest. They are not associated with the Muskogee Phoenix.

Some will even use our contest logo to make their sales pitch look legitimate.

Longtime Muskogee Phoenix sales reps Angela Jackson and Therese Lewis will contact you after the voting. If anyone contacts you other than Angela or Therese, please contact us before you purchase a plaque.

Thank you.
