Selection Process for 2013

Pride Toronto’s annual festival is a celebration of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transexual, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, Two-Spirited and Allies (LGBTTIQQ2SA) communities.

The ten day festival culminates in the annual Pride Parade, led by the International Grand Marshall, Grand Marshall, Honoured Youth and Honoured Group. The Honoured Dyke and Honoured Dyke Group lead the Dyke March, with the Honoured Dyke also marching in the Pride Parade. This year, the awards will be given during the Pride Week launch reception.

Nominees should have contributed significantly to the queer community of Toronto. Nominations must provide details and specific instances of nominees' contributions. The honoured positions’ selection process is an opportunity for community involvement and engagement. Following the nomination process, the Board of Pride Toronto will consider the applications and select the honourees.

The awards will be given based on the nominees’:

• History of work and biography of the nominee with respect to the LGBTTIQQ2SA communities
• Significant contribution and accomplishments to the public, private or non-profit sectors
• How the nominee embodies this year’s Pride Toronto theme, which is “SuperQueer”
