Now that Gasparilla has ended, we can focus on awards season. For the first time in MyArea Network history, we are using the photos we took at the Gasparilla Parade to award a Gasparilla Award from 2019 to the winners of the following categories!

1. Best Dressed 

2. Best Sign 

3. Most Beads

4. Best Float

5. Best Action Shots

6. Cutest Couples

7. Funniest Pirates

8. Cutest Little Pirates

9. Cutest Pirate Pups

10. Best Group Shot

If you're wondering how the winners were chosen, we had three of our Gasparilla Experts go through the thousands of photos we took and choose their favorites. Then we voted on our staff's picks to decide who would be crowned the First Annual Gasparilla Award winners. Check below to see who won in 2019!
