LAS VEGAS – The Parnelli Ballot for the 23rd 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 on Jan. 24, 2025 at the Anaheim Hilton in Anaheim, CA during the NAMM Show.
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, Hometown Hero 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 and Indispensable Technology (“IT”) awards in the Audio, Lighting, Video and Staging/Effects categories.
The voting continues through November and into 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. 24, 2025. That’s when these backstage winners will share the limelight with career honorees Malcolm Weldon (Lifetime Achievement), Roy Bickel (Visionary) and Dave Rat (Audio Innovator).
The gala begins with the Parnelli Cocktail Party at 6 p.m. The awards banquet starts at 7 p.m. The Jan. 24 ceremony will be the 23rd annual Parnelli Awards presentation, and like the 22 awards events that came before, the event is wholly dependent upon the generous support from Parnelli Awards sponsors.
