What’s the point of winning something if you can’t brag about the accomplishment? 

Social media seems made for such boasts, and The Bubbas: Key West People’s Choice Awards have been a worthy topic since the winners of the 2024 Bubbas: Key West People’s Choice Awards were announced at Key West Theater.

Winners celebrated in style at the award show and have been sharing the success on Facebook and Instagram, using the hashtag #Bubbas2024.

For 11 years, The Bubbas have celebrated the best people, products, programs and places in Key West and the Lower Keys. Nominees and winners are entirely decided by the public, who nominate finalists and then vote online at keysweekly.com for their favorite among the top three nominees.

"Local news is crucial," she says. "It informs and connects a community. It prompts conversation. It gets people involved, holds people accountable. The Keys Weekly takes its responsibility seriously. Our owners are raising families in Key West & Marathon. Our writers live in the communities we cover - Key West, Marathon & the Upper Keys. We respect our readers. We question our leaders. We believe in the Florida Keys community. And we like to have a good time." Mandy's married to a saintly — and handy — fishing captain, and can't imagine living anywhere else.
