Search Is On for East Hampton's People Of The Year

Readers can nominate someone influential.

With TIME magazine announcing its Person of the Year this week, East Hampton Patch thought it might be fun to launch its own People of the Year search.

TIME readers voted on a variety of people who influenced the news most, from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Kim Kardashian. On Wednesday, TIME announced 'The Protestor' as its 2011 Person of the Year.

At East Hampton Patch we are asking our loyal readers for nominations on the local level. The most thoughtful and most popular top 10 responses will be put out for all to vote. Please tell Patch either in the comments section below or by emailing Taylor.Vecsey@patch.com who deserves such a title and why.
