Yes, it’s that time again — for Swamplot’s annual review of the best, most, and much too much of Houston’s local real-estate scene. Are you ready to help select the winners? It all begins next week!
What are the categories for the third annual Swamplot Awards for Houston Real Estate? We’ll be announcing them beginning on Monday and continuing through the week. (If you’ve got any killer last-minute suggestions, feel free to send them our way before then.) The awards will honor the neighborhoods, developments, designs, personalities, dreams, and absurdities that continue to make Houston real estate so entertaining.
Once each award category has been announced, we’ll need your help to come up with the right slate of official nominees. You be the judge: What was notable in 2010? What caught your eye and wouldn’t let go? What valiant efforts are deserving of recognition? And what brilliant comments can you add to encapsulate the story?
The voting methods and rules will be different this year. But all nominations and votes for these awards will come from Swamplot readers. We hope you’ll participate and join in the fun!
Can’t wait!!
Of course, there’ll have to be something in there about the new preservation ordinance.
For years, I’ve been campaigning for a category specifically honoring Cheapest Windows In An Expensive House.
My cries will likely remain unheard, yet again.
tsk
Best turret? Oh, that’s been done before. Oh wait, what about best use of cultured stone, brick, stucco, and Hardiplank–all on the same house?
How about best variance . . .
How about best example of circumventing the city of Houston’s landscaping ordinace (AKA the Tree & Shrub Ordinance)? Or what about ugliest roof on an otherwise attractive house?
How about Most-Annoying Commenter on Swamplot?
