LAS VEGAS — The Parnelli Ballot for the 22nd annual awards ceremony has been finalized, and voting has begun! The ballot is posted online at parnelliawards.com, and it’s up to YOU, the FRONT of HOUSE reader, to decide who among the nominees will step up to the awards podium at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA on the evening of Jan. 26, 2024.
The direct link is www.parnelliawards.com/vote.
You can help decide who among the nominees in all the other awards categories gets the next Parnelli nod, including this year’s best Sound Company, FOH Mixer, Monitor Mixer, System Tech and more. There are also awards honoring companies involved in lighting, video, staging, rigging, pyro, trucking and freight forwarding.
You can also choose among the six regional finalists for the Parnelli Award for Hometown Hero Sound Company of the Year, and to help decide which of the Indispensable Technology (“IT” Award) nominees should win a Parnelli for best product in the Audio, Lighting, Video and Staging/Effects categories.
The voting started in early November and continues into mid-December. After that, the votes will be tallied and the top-secret list of winners will be carefully guarded until the envelopes are opened at the podium on Jan. 26. That’s when these backstage winners will share the limelight with career honorees Jim Brammer (Lifetime Achievement), Carol Dodds (Visionary) and Buford Jones (Audio Innovator).
The gala begins with the Parnelli Cocktail Party at 6 p.m. The awards banquet starts at 7 p.m. The Jan. 26 ceremony will be the 22nd annual Parnelli Awards presentation, and like the 21 awards events that came before, the event is wholly dependent upon the generous support from Parnelli Awards sponsors.
