The City of West Hollywood has begun gathering nominations for its 2017 Rainbow Key Awards, which recognizes people who have made outstanding contributions to the lesbian and gay community. The awards event is anticipated to take place in June 2017.

Since 1993, the City of West Hollywood has presented Rainbow Key Awards to individuals and groups that have gone above and beyond in their service to the LGBT community. Contributions have come in many forms, including the arts, community service, humanitarian action, sports, medicine, armed services, leadership potential, benefit to the global gay and lesbian community, and more. Past honorees have included activists, artists, civic leaders, educators, community organizations, and many others.

Nominations will be reviewed by the City of West Hollywood’s Lesbian and Gay Advisory Board — awards will be determined by the West Hollywood City Council. Nomination forms are due by Wednesday, February 1, 2017 at 5 p.m.

A two-page nomination form is available as a downloadable PDF file and is posted on the City’s website here [PDF].
