What?
Every rider, families, friends of riders, shops and shop employees are invited to come and support the 2nd Annual KnoxWake Riders Voice Awards brought to you by The Wake Shop at American Boat Center. These awards are not given by The Wake Shop nor KnoxWake.com directly, but by each one of you riders getting on KnoxWake and voicing your opinion/vote. This is the time for you Knoxville wakeboarders to shine. You've rode hard all year, trained, and threw down. Now its time for you and your peers to speak up and vote your favorite rider all the way up to the podium. Alex Oliver, Knoxville's wake film extrodinaire, will give us yet another great video of the "2008 Wake Year in Review" right before the awards start along with a display of some of the best photos from the season. We can all relive the shredding and events that went down all year. After the awards there will be some live music, drink specials and good times so don't miss out. The awards will be for all ages and sizes. Make sure you nominate and vote!
Spread the word and mark your calenders. Nobody know how to end the Wake season like KnoxWake.com and The WakeShop at American Boat Center.
When and Where?
Open voting starts October 18th and ends November 1st. On November 1st we'll take the top 3-5 nominees of each categories and post them for you to vote on your favorite final nominees. Final voting will end November 9th. All nominees/winners will be announced at the awards banquet and the nominee that has the most votes will be taken home an award.
The award ceremony will be November the 13th at Wild Wing Cafe.
How?
Be sure to log on KnoxWake.com's "Home Page" on October 18th and vote!
Every vote counts!

Make sure you are voting. This is a free open event for all riders and all shops to get together to give props to all the riders in the area. No matter if your begginer, advanced, pro, pro shop, what boat you have, what lake your on, what board you ride, this event is for everyone to get together one night of the year for the sport we all love and push. Bring a friend or 9. See you next Wed. Keep voting and keep checking back for updates daily until the event next Thursday.
