What are your favorites in Oil City!?
Thisis your last chance to make nominations for the 2026 annual Oil Region Tourism Awards!
Please make your nominations in the following categories by commenting below or emailing [email protected]. We'll acknowledge when your nomination has been received. You have until midnight today (May 31). Nominees must be within the ORNHA, so that's all of Venango County and the Titusville, Hydetown, Oil Creek areas of Crawford County. Voting will take place later this summer with the awards announcement and reception happening later this fall. You can make as many nominations as you like, but last year's winners cannot win again in the same category.
