A Parnelli Award is the most prestigious in our industry because the winners are selected by a jury of their peers — and that means YOU. This is your chance to add YOUR voice. Fill out as many of the nomination categories as you'd like, and then be sure to hit "Submit Nomination” at the bottom. Nominated companies and individuals — up to six for each category — will appear on the final Parnelli Awards ballot, which will be finalized and posted in late October. At that point, Parnelli Awards voting will begin and will only be open to subscribers of PLSN and FOH magazines. The winners will be presented with their Parnelli Awards at the upcoming event on January 24, 2026 in Anaheim, CA (during the NAMM Show).

Make sure you’re also subscribed to our magazines so you can participate in the voting process from November to mid-December!

Nominations are open through October 10, 2025 at 12:00 pm PST.
