Nominations for all remaining categories in the 2016 Swampies closed on Friday; last week we also kicked off the actual voting, starting with the first 3 of this year’s 8 awards: Favorite Houston Design Cliché, Best Demolition of 2016, and the “Where Are They Now?” Award.

Thanks to everyone who’s joined in the fun so far, by submitting ballot-worthy choices and by voting! Your participation what makes these awards happen.

All this week we’ll be opening up more ballots for the remainder of this year’s categories; that’ll give you some time to get your votes in, and maybe do a little campaigning for your favorite nominees, before the holidays hit. Check here if you need a refresher on the 4 different ways to vote — just remember that the polls will close for all awards at 5 PM on Tuesday, December 27th. After that, we’ll ring in the new year by announcing the winners.
