LAS VEGAS — If you haven’t yet nominated any individuals, companies or products for the 2014 Parnelli and Indispensable Technology “IT” Awards, there’s still time to do so, but the deadline of Sept. 30 is only one week away, so the time to act is now!
For Parnelli nominations, go to www.parnelliawards.com/nominate.
You, the PLSN reader, have the power to shape the names appearing on the 2014 ballot, the first step toward recognizing those most worthy of being called up to be honored on at the Nov. 22 awards ceremony at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The 2014 Parnelli Awards Ballot, which will also include the finalists chosen for Hometown Hero Lighting Company of the Year, will be open for voting during the month of October.
This year’s Parnelli gala, hosted by The Tubes frontman Fee Waybill, will include the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Benny Collins, the Audio Innovator award to Bob Goldstein and the Parnelli Visionary Award to Howard Ungerleider. All of the other Parnelli Awards honoring excellence on the part of companies, individuals and products are up for grabs — and it all depends on YOU.
So be sure to go to www.parnelliawards.com/nominate and make sure your voice is heard. There, you can decide who should be named Lighting Board Operator of the Year — a new awards category for 2014 — along with returning categories: Lighting Designer, Set/Scenic Designer, Video Director, Tour Manager and Production Manager of the Year.
You’ll also find awards categories honoring companies involved in Lighting, Staging, Set Construction, Video, Sound, Rigging, Pyro, Trucking and Freight Forwarding. You can also nominate your choice for the best sound, lighting, staging and video product to debut from mid-2013 with a 2014 Indispensable Technology award nomination at www.plsn.com/it.
It all promises to add up to the biggest night of the year for the live entertainment profession — and none of it would be possible without the generous support of the 2014 Parnelli Awards sponsors. (www.plsn.com/news/21-news/13811)
