It’s time to vote for the first ever Oil Region Tourism Awards! Through the month of May, the public nominated their favorite foods, partners, and places in the Oil Region, and now it’s up to you to choose the winners.

As the designated tourism marketing organization for Venango County and the manager of the Oil Region National Heritage Area (ORNHA), the Oil Region Alliance (ORA) is facilitating the contest. There are eight categories: Best Dish, Best Drink, Best Guest Room, Best Shop, Best Industry Advocate, Best Industry/Partner Organization, Best Must Do Activity or Attraction, and Best Must See Landmark.

Voting will run through August 31, and winners will be announced during the ORA’s annual meeting in September. The ORA hopes to make the awards an annual event.
