We’re always looking to celebrate our members, and one of the best ways is through our awards program, the Awards of Excellence.
As the Outdoor Hospitality Industry continues to evolve and thrive, recognizing outstanding contributions and achievements is necessary. At OHI, we understand the importance of honoring exceptional individuals, organizations, and parks that have elevated the standards of outdoor hospitality.
The OHI Awards of Excellence serve as a platform to acknowledge and appreciate the exemplary efforts of individuals, businesses, and parks within the outdoor hospitality community. These awards encompass various categories, recognizing excellence in areas such as campground operations, customer service, marketing, innovation, environmental stewardship, and community involvement. By honoring exceptional achievements, the OHI Awards of Excellence inspire the community to strive for greatness and continuously raise the bar in the industry.
If you know a park, business, or individual deserving of recognition, now is the time to submit your nominations or celebrate your own wins and nominate yourself. Applications for each award can be found below. Ensure that you carefully review the criteria for each award category before submitting your nominations. The nomination period is now open so don’t miss this opportunity to shine a spotlight on those who have made a significant impact in outdoor hospitality.
Nominees must be current, active members of OHI that have been in business for at least one year.
