#2018REGGIES Industry Awards Winners
And the winner is…
Most participated in and heated awards yet. Lots of consternation over giveaways and people using fake emails to vote.
“We just provide the forum to recognize people. It apparently means a lot to them and we had no rules in place otherwise. We still recognize all the nominees and it’s a celebration of the industry. The fact they are giving away stuff out of their pocket for a coffee mug is their prerogative and there is nothing stopping the others from doing the same. They feel it is a value to them but if you don’t like it that seems like a harm to their business. We will look any changes we need to make for next year but again the spirit of the awards are to recognize everyone and the voting is just the icing on the cake for a fun year-end show.”
