KNOW A GREAT REGIONAL SOUND COMPANY?
Each year, FRONT of HOUSE magazine honors regional sound production companies with our Hometown Hero award. This award honors the best regional sound production company in six regions across North America: the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Northwest, Southwest, and Canada. This award—from nominations to winners—is selected by FOH readers, because they truly know who the Hometown Heroes are in the industry.
That is why, for the nominees list, we are looking for your ideas on the best regional sound production company in the U.S. and Canada. Let us know your favorites (and, yes, you CAN nominate your own company). We want to know the top companies in YOUR region.…
Nominations are due by August 23, 2024, at 5 p.m. PDT. From your nominee suggestions, 36 regional finalists will be named. Hometown Hero voting will take place August 30 to October 4, 2024, which will let readers narrow the 36 companies down to the six regional winners. The six regional winners will then be in the running for the Hometown Hero Sound Company of the Year Award, and they will appear on the Parnelli Awards ballot for voting in November. Parnelli voting will determine which of the six finalists will be presented with the Parnelli Award for Hometown Hero Sound Company of the Year at the awards dinner set for January 24, 2025, in conjunction with the NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA.
To nominate a sound company for this honor, go to www.fohonline.com/hometown-nominations/
