The nominations for the TRSA Annual Awards 2021, which will be presented in October at the 108th TRSA Annual Conference in Carlsbad, California, October 19-22, are now open. The competition is open to all operators and supplier partners. TRSA's industry recognition is a time-honored tradition that focuses on the creativity, ingenuity and humanity of affiliates. Multiple companies and individuals can be honored in the same award category, and companies can win in more than one category. Submit entries for one of these awards now at trsa.org/membership/awards.
New for 2021 is the TRSA Video Award, which is given to well-deserved operator and supplier partners. It expands the similar 2020 competition from the Virtual Marketing & Sales Summit to include supplier partners and operators.
Nominations for the following annual awards are possible until July 2nd:
