Statesboro Magazine Most Fabulous: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is Statesboro Magazine Most Fabulous and who runs it?

Most Fabulous is the best-of ballot that Statesboro Magazine puts before its readers in Statesboro, Georgia. The publisher's own pages introduce the feature with this line: "Inside you'll find the reader-voted list of the Most Fabulous people, places, and things in Statesboro." The vote itself lives on Second Street, the balloting platform whose app domain carries the entry at statesboromagazine.secondstreetapp.com/2025-26-Most-Fabulous.

On that platform's listing the entry is filed as a nomination-and-voting ballot, a type that keeps nominating and voting inside a single window instead of splitting them across rounds. As a format it belongs to the best-of family: rather than crowning one champion, the exercise gathers reader favorites across the people, places, and things of one city, and the results become the Fabulist feature the magazine publishes. Scope is what separates it from metro-scale Georgia ballots such as the Best of Atlanta; this one speaks for a single city's readership, with the magazine acting as both host and publisher of the outcome.

The fixed facts sit in one place below.

Which Most Fabulous editions and dates are on the books?

The series traces to a specific day. The magazine's story announcing the first Fabulist reads: "Starting on December 15, 2014, we invited Statesboro Magazine readers to help us choose 100 of the Most Fabulous People, Places, and Things in Statesboro." That invitation set the template the ballot still follows, asking readers to name favorites across the whole life of the city rather than judging a single field.

The publisher has since tied the feature to its yearly rhythm. A magazine item puts it plainly: "It's also time for our annual Fabulist reveal!" On the Second Street host, two editions of the current run stand documented, 2024 and 2025. The 2025-26 entry carried the title "2025-26 Most Fabulous" and ran from November 17, 2025 to January 2, 2026, and the platform now lists it as closed. Those start and finish dates are the only day-level facts attached to the program.

What the listing leaves out

Plenty stays off the page. Neither the category slate nor any per-supporter voting rule or eligibility term accompanies the listing; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. The magazine has likewise not printed dates for the coming window.

How does a supporter actually vote on the Most Fabulous ballot?

Voting happens on the magazine's Second Street page, and the shape of the task comes straight from the platform filing: a nomination-and-voting ballot, meaning one pass in which a supporter can lift a favorite into contention and mark choices among the people, places, and things already named. During an open window, a reader reaches the ballot at the statesboromagazine.secondstreetapp.com address, works through its sections, and submits picks. The January 2 close of the 2025-26 pass shows how firmly the platform bounds each run.

What stays unstated

Silences matter as much as statements here. No language about account creation travels with the entry. Nothing prints a ceiling on repeat visits or a device rule, and the organizer has not published eligibility terms either. A supporter planning a serious push should read the ballot's own instructions at the moment of voting, because those on-page directions settle questions no summary can.

Where the results land

The outcome is editorial. The magazine gathers the reader verdict and presents the Most Fabulous people, places, and things in its pages, which is how the Fabulist has worked since its debut. One fact worth quoting whole: the ballot decides by public vote, and Statesboro Magazine publishes what its readers chose.

How does Most Fabulous compare with Georgia's other reader ballots?

Georgia carries a full shelf of best-of ballots on this site, and this program's nearest neighbours are six of them: the Athens Community's Choice Awards, Best of Augusta from Augusta Magazine, Best of Atlanta from Atlanta Magazine, Best of Cobb from Cobb Life Magazine, Best of Forsyth from the Forsyth County News, and Best of Middle Georgia. Each of those serves a wider population than Statesboro's single-city remit, so a campaign here plays out among a tighter community of readers rather than a metro-wide electorate.

The publisher connection sets this ballot apart too. Statesboro Magazine runs a stream of other promotions on the same Second Street account, including sweepstakes such as a $15,000 drawing that ran November 3 to December 10, 2025, and quarterly $5,000 drawings across 2025 and 2026. Those are chance-based giveaways rather than popularity contests, so a Most Fabulous push behaves differently from anything else on the account's calendar.

Three traits that make this one distinct

A single-city market instead of a metro region, a magazine publisher that folds results into its own features, and a combined nomination-and-voting entry type. For anyone weighing where effort pays off, the smaller pond is the practical difference; the sibling programs are listed beneath this guide for side-by-side reading.

How can a supporter strengthen a favorite's chances in Most Fabulous?

Three levers fit this ballot specifically. Timing comes first: the documented window opened in mid-November and shut on January 2, so a campaign that waits past the new year runs out of runway, and rallies, email notes, and social posts work hardest in the opening weeks. Reach comes second: a Statesboro business or personality can point its own customers toward the ballot address, since the Fabulist exists to honor local favorites and the magazine expects readers to recruit readers.

Rules come third, and honesty helps here. Statesboro Magazine has not published a written policy on outside voting help for this ballot, so keep promotion within ordinary sharing of the link and whatever the ballot page permits.
