Gayest & Greatest 2024: Sponsorship Opportunities
For the past 27 years, OutSmart has celebrated Houston’s LGBTQ fan favorites with our annual Gayest & Greatest Readers’ Choice Awards. Readers participate in the competition by voting for their top choices in a variety of categories—from people in our community to the arts, to real estate, and nightlife. This year’s winners will be announced in our October 2024 issue.
Hundreds of the Gayest & Greatest winners, finalists, and friends attended our annual celebration each year, and many of the winners enjoyed showing off their awards. All of this is possible due in part to our local community partners and sponsors who help crown our winners!
Over 1,000 guests attended the 27th annual awards celebration and our lively party! Past performances include Barry Mii Dandy, Hu’Nee B, and host Violet S’Arbleu, along with beats by DJ Mel Frausto and scrumptious treats from Kindred Kitchen Catering. We are always thrilled to see so many readers, community leaders, and sponsorship partners in attendance!
