The Coast Has Spoken.  The Nominees for the Hottest Award
Ceremony on the coast, honoring those that have made their mark in 2006, are listed
below.  We received thousands of ballots from locals and tourist casting their vote for
who they think was the Best in ‘06.  After months of tallying the ballots, the Top 3
nominees in each category have been determined.  Our MTV-Grammy style ceremony
complete with Red Carpet  arrivals and live performances by 13ON, Rochelle Harper
Band, Maria Y el Sol, and Analog Missionary,  will be held on October 8 at the Beau
Rivage Casino & Resort.  Nominees will be honored and the Winner of Each category
will be announced.  If you are one of the Top 3 we will be contacting you to invite you to
the ceremony.

Due to Hurricane Katrina, we were not able to honor the winners of 2005.  During this
year's event we will have a special award presentation to honor all 2005 Winners.
