Here’s your chance to tell us all about your favorites from gay to z.

Your nominations will determine finalists in more than 200 categories. • Your nominations are saved as you cast them, so you don’t have to fill out the ballot all at one time. • Don’t see your favorite listed? Use the write-in field at the bottom of each category. You may vote one time per category each day.
