Only a Few Days Left To Get Your Nominations in for the Swamplot Awards

All 8 categories in the 2013 Swamplot Awards for Houston Real Estate have been announced and opened for nominations. Next week, we’ll kick things into even higher gear when voting starts.

Before that happens, though, we could still use some help. We’ve received some great nominations so far, but if you think anything’s missing from this year’s crop that simply can’t be left out, please add your nomination nowÂ (the most recently announced categories in particular could still use some help). If you like a nomination someone else has made but think you can beef up the explanation to better help it land on the ballot, go right ahead. No explanation at all? Feel free to fix that (otherwise, it likely won’t make it). If you have photos of any of the nominees, definitely send those in, too.

But don’t wait too long. This Sunday at midnight, nominations will close for the first 2 award categories: Favorite Houston Design ClichÃ© and Best Demolition. For the next 2 categories weâ€™ll close nominations Monday night, then Tuesday and Wednesday for the remainder of the categories. On Monday, weâ€™ll announce the official slate of nominees for the first award category and open it for voting. And then continue on from there.

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? You tell us.
