Voting begins next week for this year’s Swamplot Awards for Houston Real Estate. Some terrific nominations have already come in for many categories, but we still need your help to make sure that all the candidates are the right ones, and that each is presented in the best possible light.

So if you see something missing from any award category, please add your nomination now! Or if you think you can improve on any of the explanations submitted with a nomination you like, feel free to write in with your own better presentation. Got photos of any of the nominees? Please send them!

Early Monday morning, nominations will close for the first two award categories: Favorite Houston Design Cliché and Best Vacancy. Then we’ll announce the official slate of nominees for those awards and open them for voting. We’ll close nominations and open the voting for the next two categories on Tuesday. There’ll be two more each on Wednesday and Thursday, and the final one on Friday.

There’s still plenty of time to contribute. Add your nominations to the comments section below the post that announces each category. Or send them to us in an email. Who are the contenders in Houston real estate this year? What deserves recognition?
