These nominations are open to anyone who wishes to vote for any person, group or organisation who they believe have made a difference to the lives of lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
The initial nomination period will be open until 18 August 2011.
Following this initial nomination period, the top three nominees for each award category will be put forward for a public vote from 19 August 2011; the winners will then be announced at a special Homo Hero Award Ceremony on 22 September 2011.
These awards are important because they are voted for by you!
