Get ready, LGBT Atlanta. It’s time!

For the month of May, we are asking you, our readers, to nominate your favorites for dozens of awards in the categories of Community, People, Places, Pets, Eats, Shopping/Services, Arts & Entertainment and Nightlife.

The top three finalists in each category will make it through to the next round of voting. For the month of June, a multiple-choice ballot will ask you to pick among the finalists for who really represents the finest in LGBT Georgia.

Then, in our July 6 print edition, we will present to you the 2012 Best of Atlanta, and invite you to join us for a party at the W Hotel Midtown as we honor all of those who make our city such a wonderful place to live.

Thanks for voting!
