LAS VEGAS — The nomination phase of the 2015 Parnelli Awards has ended, the Parnelli Ballot has been posted, and voting has begun! Voting is restricted to active subscribers to PLSN (and FRONT of HOUSE) magazines, so every vote counts. Don’t miss out, go to ParnelliAwards.com and vote today!
The direct link to the ballot is here: www.parnelliawards.com/vote.
Parnelli Awards voting will continue throughout the month of September. In early October, the votes will be tallied and awards will be prepared for the winners in each category.
Except for a tightly-lipped cadre including those tallying the votes (and our sworn-to-secrecy plaque engraver), the actual winners will not be revealed until the envelopes are torn open during the Parnelli Awards on Oct. 24.
Set to take place at the Rio Hotel & Casino, the 8 p.m. gala will be preceded once again by a 7 p.m. cocktail reception. This year, the festive mood will continue after the event with the first official Parnelli After Party, which will take place in the same Rio ballroom where the show has just finished.
The Parnelli After Party will be made possible by generous support of the event’s sponsors, which, to date, include Precise Corporate Staging and Pyrotek Special Effects. Other sponsorships are available; please contact Greg Gallardo at 702.454.8550 or [email protected] for more info.
