Houston’s Best Awards
It’s that time of year now to start thinking about what products, promotions, and people to enter for Houston’s Best. We have finalized the dates and location. This year, Houston’s Best Awards show will take place on
September 24 at the Hotel InterContinental Houston. A big thank you to Mike Blalock,
HoustonNewcomerGuides.com for once again supporting Houston’s Best as the Title Sponsor! Look for additional sponsorship opportunities coming soon.
Citywide judging will take place August 10 and 11. We are in the process of finalizing all the categories and criteria for the awards show. If there is a category you think we are missing, please let us know as we are always looking to improve the awards. New this year, we will be hosting a private after-party for winners and sponsors immediately following the awards show. You don’t want to miss out on the party, so look for the call for entries coming in May!
