LAS VEGAS — Nominations for the 2008 Parnelli Awards are now being accepted at www.parnelliawards.com/nominate. Since 2001, the Parnelli award has recognized pioneering and influential individuals and their contributions to the live event industry, honoring both individuals and companies. Nominees for all categories, including FOH Mixer, Sound Company and more are now being accepted at www.parnelliawards.com/nominate.
Much more than just being about the person who gets the great gig and pulls it off flawlessly, a Parnelli award is also about moving our industry forward with the same qualities that defined the person after whom it is named. Named after Rick “Parnelli” O’Brien, an extraordinary production manager and human being, the award is given to those who, like O’Brien, exemplify the “four Hs”: humanity, humility, honesty and humor.
Part of the prestige of the Parnellis lies on their foundation as a peer-recognized award. To win a Parnelli, a person or firm is first nominated by their peers. Their peers then vote on these nominees, and a winner is declared at the Parnelli Awards ceremony. The ceremony will take place this year at the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Friday, Oct. 24.
