The fine print of the Nowie awards ✅
Like any good party, we have a few rules. The Nowies will go a little something like this:
- Nowie nominations are open now through Friday, December 3
- After nominations close, our team will review the submissions and announce the finalists for each category
- On Wednesday, December 29, you’ll have the chance to come back and vote on each category’s finalists
- Then, on Friday, January 28, we’ll announce the winners for each category
Besides bragging rights, winners will receive a Bham Now feature and digital badges to display on their website. Of course, we’re also going to need a trophy. The 15 lucky winners will be presented with a custom “Nowie,” which will be unveiled soon.
Don’t let your favorite spots down, Bham! Nominate your top picks for the Nowie awards today.
