The Virtual PEZ Convention was proud to be the home of the 2020 PEZ Head of the Year announcement. Because most in person conventions were canceled this year due to COVID-19, the past PHOTYs chose to do their announcement at this event. 

​

The PEZHead of the Year was created in 1998 to showcase someone's ability to influence, help, and promote the hobby throughout the year. When considering candidates, the previous PHOTYs look for a person that has a passion for the hobby and the contributions over the past year such as educating others, promoting or spotlighting our hobby, adding something new that draws people's attention to PEZ, or finding a new way to introduce new people to the hobby.

Congratulations to Brian Trauman, the 2020 PEZHead of the Year. Brian has had a passion for the hobby and it shows in everything he does. He has turned this passion into a useful tool to teach all collectors, both old and new, about PEZ, their details and variations, what to look for, and how NOT to get ripped off among other things. Brian educates and entertains the PEZ Community on a weekly basis through his published videos and his Facebook group. His excitement for the hobby is contagious and the knowledge he passes along is valuable to us all.
