ORLANDO, Fla. -- WESH 2 and CW18 will officially launch an innovative and interactive web initiative on June 18 on WESH.com.

The WESH 2/CW18 A-List, available at WESH.com/AList, kicks off with the "Best of the WESH 2/CW18 A-List" competition, powered by CityVoter.

The "Best of the WESH 2/CW18 A-List" contest includes hundreds of nominated businesses in the Orlando area. The businesses compete in categories such as arts and entertainment, beauty, cheap eats, fashion, great meals, health and fitness, nightlife, shopping, specialty food and drink and weddings.

In addition to contact information, each listing includes a description of the business or service and photos.

WESH and WKCF viewers can vote for their favorite businesses, submit comments and photos and nominate businesses not included on the list.

During the "Best of the WESH 2/CW18 A-List" competition, viewers are invited to vote for their favorite businesses on the WESH 2/CW18 A-List by texting their vote or visiting the Web site to vote and post comments and photos.

Winners of each category will be announced during the week of August 20 on WESH.com.

In addition, voters are entered to win a seven-day Caribbean cruise for two provided by Cruise Savers Inc. After the voting concludes, the WESH 2/CW18 A-List will choose one winner at random from all e-mail addresses submitted during the competition. WESH 2 will contact the winner and make arrangements for them to receive their prize.

When the "Best of the WESH 2/CW18 A-List" competition concludes, the WESH 2/CW18 A-List will be a useful local resource and guide to local businesses in the Orlando area.
