We then open up a voting period to allow the public to vote for the No. 1 LGBTQ+ inclusive vendor in each award category. After the voting period ends, Equally Wed will compile all final results to announce the winner in each award category.

No. Nominations and winners are chosen solely by our submission and voting process, which is free to submitters, nominees and award recipients. However, Equally Wed does reserve the right to reject any nomination or winner if Equally Wed determines they are not LGBTQ+ inclusive.
