December 2014

Greetings! Once again, we conduct our Best in the Biz survey to identify and honor top professionals who do such great work in our industry. Who are the best, and WHY?

This year we have 25 categories, and NARIP Members get to nominate. Once nominees are in, NARIP Members get to vote on the top ten in each category. We will announce the winners in January 2015.

DEADLINE TO NOMINATE: Tue Dec 30 at midnight (Pacific).

Please take three minutes to nominate outstanding folks in any or all of the categories below. You may fill in more than one name per category and skip categories. Please include the company name of each nominee and your specific reason(s) or criteria why he or she deserves to be nominated (“he is great” will not receive much weight).

If we're missing any important categories, please let us know. You'll see a space for this below.

YOUR PRIVACY

For your vote to count, you must include your NARIP username, name and a valid email address. Your privacy is respected and this information is not shared.

Any obvious block voting will result in a nomination being thrown out.

NOT A NARIP MEMBER YET? What are you waiting for? Join NOW for as little as $9.95 per month with no obligation at NARIP.com (NARIP username is required to nominate).

Once again, deadline to nominate is Tue Dec 30 at midnight (PST). Top ten in each category will be put to vote in January, winners to be announced in January 2015.

Be well.

Cheers,

Tess Taylor, President
National Association of Record Industry Professionals
