Best of The West Awards

The Best of The West Awards, is a celebration of excellence within Arizona's professional grooming community. Created to recognize the individuals and businesses who go above and beyond in animal care, education, leadership, innovation, and service, the awards shine a spotlight on the talent, compassion, and dedication that helps shape our industry. 

The event will begin with an open nomination period, where members of the community (groomers, clients, and friends) can recognize outstanding professionals across a variety of categories. Following nominations, finalists will move into a public voting period before winners are announced during a formal awards ceremony and celebration dinner. 

More than just an awards program, Best of The West is an opportunity for groomers, salon owners, educators, bathers, industry leaders, and animal care professionals to come together for an unforgettable evening of connection and recognition. Guests are invited to dress up, celebrate one another's achievements, and network with peers across the industry. 

A portion of this evening's proceeds will support charitable and community-focused efforts through the Arizona Professional Groomer's Guild.
