Psst. It’s almost that time. We’re getting ready to soft launch the 2024 Best of 225 Awards. Write-in nominations will officially open Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024 for the 19th annual edition of the awards.
And today, we’re giving 225 Daily subscribers an exclusive first look at the categories that will be open for submissions next year. We’ve been listening to reader feedback over the past year—thanks to all those who recommended new categories. To keep the awards fresh, our team changes up the categories each season, so you’ll notice that we’re temporarily reintroducing, retiring and debuting several new and old categories this time.
Stay tuned to 225 Daily for more info soon on the nomination process, how to promote yourself for the awards and more. Send us feedback at [email protected].
