Shining Example Awards
Two awards will be distributed for DMO of the year.
Regional DMO market areas cover more than one governmental jurisdiction. They may cover multiple cities in a metropolitan area, multiple counties in a wider region or portions of adjoining states.
State DMOs are state tourism departments and private-sector organizations that function throughout a given state.
Look for the Shining Example Awards entry form in your mailbox.
