INTRODUCTION

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey by the Bay Area Reporter. Your opinions are important to us. For our 15th readers' poll we're including nominees for each category, along with a write-in designation. This year's nominees are a mix of previous winners, runners-up from last year, and new entries.

The survey should only take 10-15 minutes. Your identity and answers are completely confidential and will be used to contact the winner of a random drawing : The first 100 responses to complete at least 75% of our survey will win two tickets to Cirque du Soleil's ECHO. Entrants will be added to our newsletter recipients. Readers may vote once per day, per device, from now until midnight (Pacific Time) December 31, 2025.

The results of our survey will be published on April 2, 2026 as part of our historic 55th anniversary issue of the Bay Area Reporter, America's longest continuously-published and highest circulation LGBTQ newspaper.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact our office at (415) 861-5019.
