It's time to pick the best destinations across the South for 2008. But we need help from our experts: you.

What is the best festival? The best restaurant for Southern favorites? The best beach? Share your expertise in brand-new categories for this year's contest, as well as a few familiar ones.

When you enter, you get a shot at winning a dream vacation. One randomly drawn entrant will win a seven-day, six-night Caribbean trip from Princess Cruises. We'll arrange your room and meals, airfare to Fort Lauderdale, and transportation to and from the airport. All you do is choose which Caribbean itinerary you want. Also, on the ballot there's a link to a chance to win an extra $1,000 from slvacations.com.

The online ballot will be available beginning on January 7, 2008, at southernliving.com/readerschoice. It's easy and fun, so be sure to enter and share your knowledge of our favorite region.
