Readers Voice Awards 2026

Theย Readers Voice Awards are back for 2026,
andย The Future Is So Bright!

This year weโ€™re showing up louder, prouder and brighter than ever as we celebrate the people, places and businesses that make our LGBTQ+ community the beacon of Pride and support that it is.

From the icons whoโ€™ve kept our city fabulous for decades to the new voices making waves across DFW, this is our chance to vote for the best and brightest in our community!

So as we step into the new year, we hope you come ready to sparkle. This community shows up for all of us every day, and now it’s your turn to show up for them.

Cast your votes for our annual Readers Voice Awards and tell us who is the best. Votes are gathered the entire month of January and will be revealed in our March 27 issue.

Voting starts on January 1st and ends January 31st.ย 

VOTE! and WIN!
