LAS VEGAS — The 2014 ballot that forms the basis of the Hometown Hero Lighting Company of the Year competition has been finalized. It’s posted online, and the voting process, which extends through Aug. 31, has begun. Follow the jump to find the link to the 2014 ballot for lighting companies vying for Hometown Hero honors.
To link to the 2014 Hometown Hero Lighting Company of the Year ballot, go to www.plsn.com/hometown.
Each year, PLSN creates the Hometown Hero ballot and tallies votes from subscribers to determine six regional winners. The 30 regional lighting companies on the ballot are geographically dispersed across North America, divided into five U.S. regions along with a sixth zone — all of Canada.
Hometown Hero voting needs to take place prior to the voting for the Parnelli Awards themselves. That way, the regional winners can be selected and automatically placed on the final Parnelli Awards ballot. PLSN readers can then vote for the “best of the best,” the regional winner most worthy of the national Parnelli Hometown Hero honor.
Because the Parnelli Awards are set for Nov. 22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas this year, the Parnelli Awards ballot and voting will take place during the month of October.
Along with the regional Hometown Hero finalists, the Parnelli Awards ballot will once again include manufacturer products vying for the 2014 Indispensable Technology (“IT”) Awards competition. IT Awards will honor innovation in the realms of Lighting, Staging, Video and Sound. Nominations are being accepted at www.plsn.com/it through Aug. 31.
