Nominations are submitted by the public using online forms hosted on the Fierté Simcoe Pride website. They are reviewed by the Awards Committee to confirm that nominees meet the appropriate criteria for the category for which they've been nominated. A short list, with a maximum of 5 nominees in each category, is then compiled from all the qualified nominations received.
The award recipients are voted on with a secret ballot by a Jury Panel under the supervision of the Co-Chairs of the Awards Committee. The Jury Panel is assembled from the following groups: three members of the Board of Directors and members of the Community Jury Panel. Interested community members are welcome to identify their interest in volunteering as a Jury Panel member by completing the appropriate form on our website (above).
The categories are voted on with a secret ballot a few days before the Awards Gala, under the supervision of the Awards Committee co-chairs. The co-chairs of that committee then count the votes and the confidential results are tabulated and secured in a locked briefcase. That briefcase remains locked until the night of the Awards Gala, at which time the President of FSP opens the briefcase on stage to reveal the outcome of this process.
Fierté Simcoe Pride is committed to honouring and celebrating all the Nominees each year, acknowledging them from the stage at the annual Awards Gala.
