Nominations Underway for Parnelli Hometown Hero Awards!

Each year, PLSN and Front of House honor regional lighting and sound companies with our Hometown Hero awards. These awards honor the best small companies in six regions across North America: the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Northwest, Southwest and Canada. PLSN and Front of House readers – the people who actually work with these companies – get to decide who’s really the best. We are looking for your ideas on the best regional lighting production company and best regional sound production company in the U.S. and Canada. Let us know your faves (and, yes, you can nominate your own company).

Nominations are due by Aug. 31, and regional finalists will be named shortly thereafter. Voting on the regional finalists will then take place, with regional winners determined by Sept. 30.

The winners for each region automatically become the finalists for the 2018 Hometown Hero Lighting Company of the Year and 2018 Hometown Hero Sound Company of the Year Award, which will be presented at the Parnelli Awards Dinner scheduled for Friday, Jan. 26 at the Anaheim Hilton during Winter NAMM 2018.
