Best Invitation to Come Out and Play: The Cinergy Children's Museum, in its first year, was the third-most attended museum for kids in America. Runners-up for getting young people in the arts spirit: ARTrageous Saturdays at Raymond Walters College in Blue Ash, where kids get introduced to arts in bite-size performances, and the Rosenthal Next Generation Series at the Playhouse, where kids get to go to theater designed and staged for them. Cinergy Children's Museum, Museum Center at Union Terminal, 1301 Western Ave., Queensgate, 287-7000.

Best Place to Hear a 20-Minute Guitar Jam: BarrelHouse. Some of the most popular music right now across the country comes from the so-called "Jam Band" scene, and the BarrelHouse (especially since Ripley's Alive closed) is the scene's focal point here, offering a variety of national, regional and local groups. While you'll certainly hear an elongated six-street workout at the club, the "Jam" scene is so diverse that the solos might just as likely be coming from a violin or a sax. The club/brewpub also does a great job offering a diverse schedule, with everything from Jazz to AltRock to Bluegrass finding a place. BarrelHouse Brewery, 22 E. 12th St., Over-the-Rhine, 421-BEER.

Best Shout Out for Wild Bookings: Annie's. Props must go to any club in Cincinnati that has the cajones to book the likes of Tricky, Rahzel, Mad Professor, Beenie Man and Pato Banton. Who knew there were actually headz here down for that type of hype? Annie's, 4343 Kellogg Ave., East End, 321-2572.

Best Art for the Common Man: The Contemporary Arts Center exhibit The American Lawn: Surface of Everyday Life examined our preoccupation with the plot of land in front of our house and the turf wars that often ensue. Photographs and other media analyzed this uniquely American obsession (grass is the nation's largest crop) and, in the doing, discovered that what we're really creating in our own front yard is art. Contemporary Arts Center, 115 E. Fifth St., Downtown, 721-0390.

Best Marketing Concept, Part One: Coney's Sunlite Pool staying open an extra weekend in September for the millennium's "Last Big Splash of the Century." The Fabulous Wallendas, the world-famous high wire act, performed along with high divers, human cannonballs and other daredevils. A Rozzi fireworks show closed the century at Coney. Fantastic. Coney Island, 6201 Kellogg Ave., Anderson Twp., 232-6701.

Best Marketing Concept, Part Two: A "Holiday Fest" at The Beach? Yep, the summer waterpark opened in December, setting out nearly a quarter-million lights, a 40-foot evergreen, a craft village, a miniature train display, a live nativity scene and a 5,000-square-foot skating rink (better known as "Kokomo Lake" in the summer). Inspired marketing. The Beach Waterpark, 2590 Waterpark Drive, Mason, 398-SWIM.

Best Place to Impress a Movie Date: The Esquire Theatre remains a hot spot for adult fare and foreign-language films that offer an alternative to Hollywood fluff. Afterwards, close your eyes, smoke a cigarette and analyze the true worth of Woody Allen. Or not. Esquire Theatre, 320 Ludlow Ave., Clifton,
281-8750.

Best Art Pocket: The little village of artists at the new Brighton enclave just off of Central Parkway. Studios and galleries are patched in around Pat Rennick's glistening geodesic sculpture like chicks around a mother hen. It's art on the march.

Best On-the-Edge Art: Semantics gallery, in the aforementioned Brighton area. Operating on a shoestring, it continually brings in crowds of "outside" artists who want to break barriers or watch them get broken. The monthly openings here are legendary. Semantics, 1107 Harrison Ave., Brighton, 721-2659.

Best Prescription Art: The new art in the halls at Christ Hospital. Changing exhibits by area artists are designed to heal the sick through beautiful exposure. Christ Hospital, 2139 Auburn Ave., Mount Auburn, 585-2000.

Best Birthday Bash: The College-Conservatory of Music celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of composer Kurt Weill with a double bill of rarely performed one-act operas, Royal Palace and The Czar Has His Photograph Taken. College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, Clifton Heights, 556-2683.

Best Opening: CCM finally finished its multi-year makeover in December by opening a stunning new complex of theaters, rehearsal spaces and classrooms. The cozy new Studio Theater, in particular, is a stand-out. At last, world-class facilities for a world-class music and theater programs. College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, Clifton Heights, 556-2683.

Best Homage to Local Theater: The induction of Tony Award-nominee (and CCM grad) Pamela Myers into the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards Hall of Fame. Myers has not only wowed audiences in New York and elsewhere, but she continues to keep her hand in local theater company productions. She accepted her award at the CEA show in November and performed "To Dream the Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha.

Best Decision about Casting a Play: Ed Stern's recognition that he need look no further than Cincinnati for the best actress, Dale Hodges, to play cancer victim Vivian Bearing in Wit, the powerful drama that played to sold-out Shelterhouse audiences at the Playhouse. (Hodges was everywhere in the past year: ETC for Side Man and Cripple of Inishmaan, the Playhouse for A Christmas Carol and Wit, and soon CSF for Coriolanus.) Cincinnati Playhouse, 962 Mt. Adams Circle, Mount Adams, 421-3888.

Best Destination for Folkies: The Southgate House, where Robin and Linda Williams, Roger McGuinn, Dougie MacClean, Fairport Convention, the V-Roys, Catie Curtis and Bill Miller all have played stints in recent months. Southgate House, 24 E. Third St., Newport, 431-2201.

Best Place to Whine About the "Death" of Local Music: Localmusik.com's message boards have been wildly active since the closing of Indie/Rock/Whatever club Sudsy Malone's. Even if you don't participate, it's fascinating to watch people blast the local music front; even more interesting is the faithful who lash back and vehemently defend the scene.

Best Visual Accompaniment for Local Music: Big Bang Productions, the video-manipulating duo that's become the gig ornamentation of choice for local band shows in the past year. Usually working at the Southgate House, the duo creates computer collages or displays vintage footage onto a giant screen behind the stage, giving your usual local show an extra "umph" of artistic and visual pizzazz. If you want to find Big Bang, ask local musicians in the know.

Best Ploy to Get People to Listen to Local Original Music: Bogarts.com. The best way to get anyone to do anything: free stuff. Bogart's Web master, Carrie Reynard, developed a section on the site whereby surfers can win tickets to upcoming Bogart's shows by correctly identifying the RealAudio song provided. The song, of course, is by a local artist. Pretty ingenious.

Best Local Music Festival: Popopolis, Oct. 16, 1999. Forget Pepsi Jammin' on Main, Newport Music Festival and all the other packages of local music. This one proved to be the most fun with the most talent with local band The Simpletons to national act Frogpond. And, held at the Southgate House, it was a true festival in a grandiose but intimate setting.

Best Wishes: Marni Penning, a founding member of Fahrenheit-cum-Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival, has decided to stop performing with CSF on a regular basis in order to concentrate on Equity theater work. There's no hiding the fact that CityBeat is Penning's No. 1 fan. In terms of acting, her stage presence was the heart and soul of CSF, and the troupe won't be the same without her. Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival, 719 Race St., Downtown, 381-2288.

Best Art Publicity Gimmick: The Big Pig Gig, which will be overwhelming Cincinnati in the next few months. Artworks has a proven track record for garnering attention, but this one combines too-much-fun-to-pass-up with lots of creativity. Let the pig puns begin! Big Pig Gig, 1310 Pendleton St., Over-the-Rhine, 333-0388.

Best Reason to Stay on Terra Firma: The imposing new Son of Beast, Paramount's Kings Island's newest thrill ride set to open this summer. Every time we drive by it, our stomachs churn. Paramount's Kings Island, I-71 at Kings Island Drive, Mason, 754-5700.

Best New Park Complex: Sharon Centre, the Hamilton County park district's newest addition. The center is a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility featuring interactive education exhibits focusing on the geology and natural history of Sharon Woods Gorge and the surrounding area. You'll find fascinating displays such as the Buckeye Pool, where visitors come eye to eye with wildlife, and even a life-sized walk-through sycamore tree. An overlooked treasure trove for kids. Sharon Woods Park, 11450 Lebanon Pike, Sharonville, 563-9484.

Best Auction to Catch a Glimpse of Someone Famous: At the Rookwood Auctions, held the first weekend of every June. Wealthy fans of the Cincinnati pottery fly in from all parts of the world, paying up to $75,000 for a vase without blinking twice. Some $2 million worth of Rookwood can change hands. Cincinnati Art Galleries, 225 E. Sixth St., Downtown, 381-2128, and Treadway Gallery, 2029 Madison Road, O'Bryonville, 321-6742.

Best Place to Catch a Show New Yorkers Were Just Buzzing About: Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati's production of Side Man last fall was the first of the Tony Award-winner outside of New York, and playwright Warren Leight came to town to see its opening. ETC, 1127 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine, 421-3555.

Best Imitation of Broadway Right Here in Cincinnati: CCM's fall production of The Secret Garden, which brought together the organization's top scenic, lighting and costume designers under veteran director Aubrey Berg. College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, Clifton Heights, 556-2683.

Best Bards-Eye View: The onstage benches (now with cushions) at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival. Get up close and personal with the energetic acting company and its fine guest actors. Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival, 719 Race St., Downtown, 381-2288.

Best Imported Theater: The Broadway Series' Cabaret pulled no punches and delivered the show in the same edgy, full-of-innuendo production that was seen on Broadway. Broadway Series, Aronoff Center for the Arts, 650 Walnut St., Downtown, 241-SHOW.

Best Off-Brand Theater Group: The Know Theatre Tribe, which does lots - readings, new works and traditional plays - on a shoestring budget and by being space commandoes at places like Gabriel's Corner. The Know Theatre Tribe, Gabriel's Corner, 1425 Sycamore St., Over-the-Rhine, 871-1429.

Best Plays You Haven't Seen Produced Yet: The Theater of the Mind series has been holding readings of new plays by women playwrights at the Mercantile Library. Great acting, great directing and some fabulous new plays. What's even better is the series will move to Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati next season, where new plays are the regular fare. It's a marriage made in heaven.

Most Ambitious Theater Group That has only just begun: With just a production of Harold Pinter's Old Times in November under their belt, few have heard of the IF Theatre Collective. That will change when IF begins public performances in April of Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit at the University YMCA at UC. Other projects, a mixture of comedies, dramas and musicals, already are being lined up. IF Theatre Collective, 961-7434.

Best Pro-Am Art: Cincinnati Art Club's Viewpoint Exhibits. An annual art free-for-all that's been one of the most uneven but unfailingly entertaining collections of art every season. Enough "old" names show up to keep its title of tradition, but enough new artists get mixed in through sheer ability to keep up quality. Cincinnati Art Club, 1021 Parkside Place, Mount Adams, 241-4591.

Best Old Art Show: Jim Dine's Walking Memory at the Cincinnati Art Museum surely didn't show its 30-plus year age. It sparkled and shocked with pure invention. This was surely what "concept" was meant to be but only becomes once in the hands of a great master. Cincinnati Art Museum, 953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams, 721-5204.

Best Return: Ran Gallery. A bastion of traditional Cincinnati favorites, well vetted and dripping with authenticity. Back on the scene after a brief respite, stronger than ever. Ran Gallery, 3668 Erie Ave., Cincinnati, 871-5604.

Best-Kept Secret Show: In a city that puts on some pretty damn good arts-and-crafts mixers, there's still the relaxed little half-a-block, under-the-trees, no-loudspeakers, one-day-only Duveneck Art Show on Riverside Drive in Covington. It's a gem of relaxed atmosphere for both artists and visitors every spring.

Best Movie Audiences: Central Parke 11. You need a rowdy crowd if you want to make it through a lame-o Arnold Schwarzenegger action picture. The crowds at this second-run plex don't hesitate to talk back at the screen. Sometimes the real show is in the aisles. Central Parke 11, 4600 Smith Road, Norwood, 531-7655.

Best Reason to Buy Overpriced Popcorn: The most modern of area plexes, Showcase Cinemas Springdale, offers super-sized screens and stadium seating. It's the only worthwhile place to see Hollywood blockbusters. Suddenly that $8 hotdog seems OK. Showcase Cinemas Springdale, 12064 Springfield Pike, Springdale, 771-4544.

Best Truly Open Mic Night: Baba Budan's Espresso Bar. While Cincinnati has some good musical open mics around town - usually at alcohol-serving bars - this all-ages Thursday night session hosted by singer/songwriter Rebecca Vie (who hosts the open mic night on the first Thursday of the month at Arlin's on Ludlow) seems to be the only one that's wide open. Besides the usual acoustic musical act, be prepared to hear someone read a straight poem or a UC student tell a funny (maybe only to him) story. Raw, pure entertainment, all the way, but always an "anything-can-happen" kind of night. Baba Budan's Espresso Bar, 243 Calhoun St., Clifton Heights, 221-1911.

Best Place on Main Street to Escape the 1980s: The Overflow. With "Too Shy" and "99 Red Balloons" blasting from the sound systems at most of the dance spots in the Main Street district, you might start thinking Ronald Reagan's in office again. But the area does have an eclectic live music resurgence going on, most refreshingly at The Overflow, which has been mixing in original local acts into the rotation. And the club's dark, low-key vibe fits the more underground sounds of recent acts like Roundhead and Chalk perfectly. The Overflow, 1207 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, 651-2582.

Best Harmonic Convergence: A Capella singing group Voicebox has released its second album, No Net, and taken to performing live more often. A real treat for music fans looking for something different.

Best Place to Sun Worship: The historic Cincinnati Observatory Center, which hosts occasional public viewings of the sun in addition to its regular nighttime observations. Special filters attached to the telescope allow direct viewing of sunspots and solar oddities. Cincinnati Observatory Center, 3489 Observatory Place, Mount Lookout, 321-5186.

Best Summer Carnival for the Kids: The annual "Sound Safari" at Riverbend Music Center. The fun begins early with a petting zoo courtesy of Sunrock Farm. Then the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra salutes the animal kingdom, as giant puppets from Madcap Productions dance across the stage. Kids love it, even though it's blah Classical music. Riverbend, Kellogg Avenue at I-275, Anderson Township, 381-3300.

Best Truth in Advertising: The "Swimming With Sharks" exhibit "sponsored by The Cincinnati Enquirer" at the Newport Aquarium. A perfect linkage of two like species, but we're surprised the sharks can stand the smell. Oceanic Adventures Newport Aquarium, Newport on the Levee, Newport, 491-FINS.

Best Place to Buy a Barbie Doll: The annual Queen City Barbie Doll Club Show, which shows off three or four decades of the physiologically challenged ode to womanhood herself. Now does the feminist version read Our Barbies, Ourselves? Holiday Inn North, 2235 Sharon Road, Sharonville, 321-5260.

Best Giant Cameo: Bengal Hall of Famer Anthony Munoz tackling something a bit different - a stage role - when he co-starred with Tony-Award nominee Pamela Myers in the Children's Theatre presentation of Jack and the Beanstalk. Children's Theatre at the Taft Theatre, Fifth and Sycamore Sts., Downtown, 569-8080.

Best Exhibit by a Public Library: Presidential Golf: The Memorabilia of White House Golfers, which examined golf's impact on the American presidency. As opposed to a ball's impact on the American presidency. Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County, 800 Vine St., Downtown, 369-6970.

Best Music Fest on the River: The Queen City Blues Fest, which last year featured such headliners as John Mooney, Chris Cain, Guitar Shorty, Deborah Coleman, Otis Rush, Rob Rio and more. In addition to the free music by a variety of Blues artists, there were workshops and other programs. Queen City Blues Fest, Bicentennial Commons at Sawyer Point, Downtown, 684-4227.

Best Celtic Fest in the Boonies: The annual Kentucky Scottish Weekend, where you'll find the full compliment of kilts, caber tosses, solo piping and drumming. The Tannahill Weavers are a regular performer. Kentucky Scottish Weekend, General Butler State Resort Park, Carrollton, no phone number.

Best Attempt at a Fest Washed Out by Rain: The inaugural WorldJam, brought to you by the same folks who produce Pepsi Jammin' on Main, featured a top-notch lineup headed by the Neville Brothers and Robert Cray and an ambitious agenda to expose Cincinnatians to ethnically and culturally diverse food, arts, crafts and music. Unfortunately, the first day - which had the big national music acts - was rained out. (Ironically, last year's Jammin' - an event that seems plagued by bad weather - attracted record crowds under perfect conditions.) WorldJam officials, undaunted, are taking another shot this fall. Cincinnati Arts Festival, 18 E. Fourth St., Downtown, 621-3378.

Best Waiting Line: The folks trying to get tickets to see shows at the Cincinnati Playhouse's Shelterhouse Theatre. It's heavily subscribed (like 60 percent), and those who subscribe never seem to leave (since the renewal rate is like 98 percent). And for 11 years, your subscription has included a world premiere of the Rosenthal New Play Prize Winner. Cincinnati Playhouse, 962 Mt. Adams Circle, Mount Adams, 421-3888.

Best Reason to Think about Going to Future CSO Concerts: 37-year-old Paavo Jarvi, single guy, good musical family and impeccable credentials, has been named CSO's new music director. He plans to live in Cincinnati and become involved in the community, providing real personal connection to the Symphony. Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Music Hall, 1220 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, 381-3300.

Best Theater Feast: Community theater's annual ACT festival in June, when the best of 25-plus local thespians get together to present a piece of their season's best shows.

Best Reason to Drive an Hour North: Dayton's Human Race Theatre Co. consistently stages top-notch contemporary works with strong casts in an intimate setting. It's definitely worth a trip. Human Race Theatre Co., 138 N. Main St., Dayton, Ohio, 937-228-3630.

Best Wake-Up Call at Music Hall: The summer opera season is no longer a snoozefest. For two seasons now, Nic Muni has offered adventurous fare in startling prodcutions, with more promised in the coming years. Cincinnati Opera, Music Hall, 1220 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, 241-ARIA.

Best Exit: Elysso Getto, who helmed the Cincinnati Arts Association for five years, is off to manage a theater in Connecticut. She did a fine job of balancing the books and sustaining the Aronoff Center, but now we need some new blood to get butts in the seats and keep the lights turned on at our downtown performing arts center. Aronoff Center for the Arts, 650 Walnut St., Downtown, 241-SHOW.

Best Dingaling: The Peace Bell in Newport tried to focus local turn-of-the-millennium attention with an all-day celebration that chimed in New Year's Day around the world and culminated with the first "big bang" from the much-ballyhooed bell. Windows around Newport did not, in fact, break, but neither has Newport fully rallied around its newest tourist attraction. Peace Bell, Millennium Plaza, Fifth and York Streets, Newport.

Best Overhyped Exhibit of the Year: Mysteries of Egypt, an exhaustive antiquities display and accompanying Omnimax film that opened last summer at the Museum Center, included artifacts, statues and masks as well as a re-creation of a walk through King Tut's tomb. Yes, it was fun. But "Treasures of Tutankhanen" it was not. Museum Center at Union Terminal, 1301 Western Ave., Queensgate, 287-7000.

Best Underhyped Exhibit of the Year: The terrific Treasures from the Rembrandt House, Amsterdam, which exhibited at the Taft Museum and featured 82 etchings by the master. Or how about A Renaissance Treasury: The Flagg Collection of European Decorative Arts & Sculpture, featuring an exhibition of decorative arts encompassing more than 70 secular and sacred works from the Medieval and Renaissance eras. Rare clocks, tableware, vessels, cabinets, sculptures and jewelry, you name it. Two standout entries in a standout season. Taft Museum, 316 Pike St., Downtown, 241-0343.

Best Exhibit for Voyeurs: Sleeping Around Cincinnati, in which photographer Diana Duncan Holmes offered an inside glimpse of 50 bedrooms of the Queen City's rich and not-so-rich. Weston Art Gallery, 650 Walnut St., Downtown, 977-4165.

Best Nightspot for Voyeurs: The back bar at Jeff Ruby's. Apart from the main room yet still part of the restaurant's beehive of activity, you can chit-chat with the service staff as they call in their orders and get a sneak peak through the service window into the main room to see the comings and goings of the crowd. Perfect for those who want to see but not be seen. Jack Ruby's, Seventh and Walnut Streets, 784-1200.

Best Air Stunts: The aerobatic performances that highlight the Lunken Airport Annual Air Show every August. This lively weekend is under-publicized and under-attended. Displays include active U.S. military aircraft. Lunken Airport, Wilmer and Kellogg Aves, Mount Washington, 321-4115.

Best Underappreciated Concert Venue: The Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, where recent free recitals have included, direct from Vatican City, Papal organist James Goettsche. The acoustics are incredible, and the price can't be beat. Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, 1140 Madison Ave., Covington, 431-2060.

Best Underused Concert Venue: Celtic singers Andy M. Stewart and Gerry O'Beirne played a concert at Museum Center's Reakirt Auditorium, an intimate theater with cozy, padded seats. Why more groups don't think to rent it is a mystery. Museum Center at Union Terminal, 1301 Western Ave., Queensgate, 287-7000.

Best Old Is New Again: The Riverwind Dinner Theatre at the Plantation, where the acting troupe that stages productions at Showboat Majestic now performs in the winter. You might remember it as the old Beef 'N Boards. Whatever, we're glad to see it's back. The Riverwind Dinner Theatre at the Plantation, just off the Dry Fork exit of I-74, Harrison, 319-5239.

Best Example of Bad Karma: The booking agents for Phish almost certainly didn't realize it, but they scheduled the band to play the Firstar Center exactly 20 years to the day that a frenetic rush by fans for seats at a Who concert claimed 11 lives - the deadliest concert disaster in American history. Phish probably wished it could be somewhere else, too. Firstar Center, Pete Rose Way, Downtown, 562-4949.

Best Play Title of the Season: If titles alone could sell a play, then Six Women With Brain Death or Expiring Minds Want to Know should have been a sellout. Cincinnati Public Theatre, Fifth Third Bank Theatre, Aronoff Center for the Arts, Seventh and Main Sts., Downtown, 241-SHOW.

Best New Year's Gala We Couldn't Afford: The $1,500 bash at the posh Cincinnatian Hotel, where a black-tie party came complete with open bar, five-course meal, hotel room and in-room champagne. Music guest was Mickey Esposito. Checkout time on Jan. 1 wasn't until 4 p.m., allowing adequate time to overcome a hangover. Cincinnatian Hotel, Sixth and Vine Sts., Downtown, 381-3000.

Best Art Gallery:Contemporary Arts Center, 115 E. Fifth St., Downtown, 721-0390.

Best Arts Organization: ArtWorks, 1310 Pendleton St., Over-the-Rhine, 333-0388.
