More than ever before, our readers' favorites in this year's battle of the brands reflects a broader, more eclectic preference in the 79 different categories that make up the Readers' Choice Awards.

We also got the largest number of nominations ever -- again evidence of Central Florida's varied tastes and interest in spotlighting their personal favorites.
Professional services

Pohl & Short, founded by Frank Pohl, describes itself as a "business boutique law firm in Winter Park" and an "alternative to the large commercial law firms." They get the nod from our readers as the Best Small Law Firm.

New rules:
As the size and complexity of the annual Readers' Choice Awards changes, Orlando Business Journal has revised its rules concerning the number of categories in which individuals or companies can be recognized.

In the past, winners were based solely on the total number of votes. However, this year's winners are limited to just one category per person or company.
For those getting the most votes in more than one category, the editors chose the most appropriate category in which to receive recognition, based on a variety of criteria.
