2026 Business Pride Awards - Voting!

Welcome to the Voting Ballot for the 2026 BPA Awards!

The Mid-America LGBT Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to the voting round of the 2026 Business Pride Awards!

The following finalists have been selected by the 2026 BPA Nomination Committee. All nominations were reviewed and the top two or three from each category were identified as being ‘outstanding’ in their areas of work and support for the Chamber.

We now invite you to select your top choice for the categories below (or select the last option to abstain if you wish not to cast a vote in any given category).

Voting results will be presented to the Nomination Committee, who will then make the final decision. Recipients of a Business Pride Award will be announced at the event on May 12th, 2026 at the Guild.

Please be familiar with the rules and regulations related to voting:
  • Ballot must be filled out in its entirety before being submitted.
  • If you wish to not vote within any category, please use the abstain option.
  • Ballots will only be accepted by a Chamber member, including those who work for a business member.
  • Only one voting ballot will be accepted per business email.
  • Voting closes at midnight on Wednesday, April 17th.
