Over the course of two weeks, more than 100,000 of you came to our Facebook page and voted for your favorite people, places and things in this city. And now that winners have been officially announced via our latest print edition (you can pick up a copy at any of the 500 locations listed here), we will be rolling out all 30 winners online–one a day for the next month.

Best Community Organizer
Justin Rudd!

If you don’t know Justin Rudd! (always with an exclamation mark), then you must not live in Long Beach. Co-founder of the Community Action Team, which oversees dozens of events that range from the Haute Dog Poetry Contest to the annual and popular Turkey Trot, this transplanted Southern boy has altered the Belmont Shore philanthropic and community scene with his calendar of events, parties and contests. And in case you didn’t know, he also runs five miles a day, refuses to own a cell phone and picks up at least four pieces of trash a day. Yes, he makes us feel inept too.

Follow Justin Rudd on Facebook and also Like his “Long Beach, Calif.” Facebook page. Learn more about all of the events Justin presents throughout the year at JustinRudd.com.
