🏆🤑 Ready to have clarity and confidence in your business? 🥇🎯
We are excited to bring you the complete nominations for the 2022 REGGIE Awards. This is our 10th annual “peoples choice” style industry awards, and we will be announcing all of the nominees as well as the 5 people that you will be voting for during the month of November. Then we will crown the 2021 REGGIE Winners on December 9th. This is one of the most important shows we do each year because this is where we get to recognize all of the people who have made a difference in our industry.

Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants, lectures, or selling. We are not doing this for our employers but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened-to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will improve your business and our industry. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list, and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!

Here are some ground rules for nominating:
- You must nominate a company or individual in at least seven of the 10 categories. Nomination forms that have less than 7 categories filled in will be tossed out and not counted.

- Nominations close on November 10th at 5 PM Central Time. This is a hard date, so no emails afterwards asking us to make an exception.
- Nominee announcements will be November 11th
- Voting will take place beginning December 8th at 5 PM Central Time
- Winners will be announced on our show December 9th
