They also fund GLAAD’s work to amplify stories from the LGBT community that build support for equality. The GLAAD Media Awards have been held every year since 1990. NOMINEE SELECTION GLAAD monitors the media in order to identify nominees in 20 En- glish-language categories, and 9 Spanish-language categories. In addition to year-round media monitoring, GLAAD issues a Call for Entries, encouraging media outlets to submit outstanding work for con- sideration. GLAAD may nominate a mainstream media project even if it is not submitted as part of the Call for Entries. However, media outlets created by and for an LGBT audience must submit in order to be consid- ered for nomination. GLAAD does not monitor media created by and for the LGBT community for defamation – therefore we do not generate a pool of potential nominees for review. GLAAD may select up to five nominees in each category. If no projects are deemed worthy of nomination in a particular category, GLAAD may choose to not award that category. All media projects with LGBT images are evaluated using four criteria: 1. FAIR, ACCURATE AND INCLUSIVE REPRESENTA- TIONS Rather than portraying the LGBT community in broad stereotypes, the project deals with the characters or themes in a fair, accurate, and multi-dimensional manner. (This is different than a “positive role model.”) Inclusive means that the diversity of the LGBT community is represented. This includes economic, geographic, and political di- versity, as well as people of color, seniors, differently abled people, etc. 2. BOLDNESS AND ORIGINALITY The project breaks new ground by exploring LGBT subject matter in non-traditional ways and handles the LGBT content in a fresh and original manner. Is this project cutting-edge? 3. IMPACT The project impacts society in a significant way. Does this project dramatically increase the cultural dialogue about LGBT issues? Or, does this project reach an audience that is not regularly exposed to LGBT images and issues? 4. OVERALL QUALITY A project of extremely high quality adds impact and significance to the images and issues portrayed. Fair, accurate and inclusive images can sometimes be weakened when they are part of a poor-quality project. SELECTION OF AWARD RECIPIENTS Nearly 700 GLAAD Media Awards voters contribute to the selection of award recipients in each category via online balloting. Voters are com- prised of three groups: GLAAD staff and board, GLAAD Alliance and Media Circle members, and GLAAD volunteers & allies (which includes previous Special Honorees, key media industry allies, and Event Produc- tion teams). The votes of these three groups result in a final slate of award recipients, which is then given to GLAAD’s Review Panel for certification. The Re- view Panel is comprised of the GLAAD Board co-chairs, senior GLAAD program and communications staff, and media industry experts. The members of the Review Panel are expected to view all of the nomi- nees in each category. The final slate of award recipients is certified by the Review Panel, based on the results of the online balloting and their own expert opinions. Award recipients are announced at the GLAAD Media Awards ceremonies. VANGUARD AWARD JENNIFER LOPEZ STEPHEN F.

At PwC, I immediately felt comfortable revealing the part of me I thought I would have to hide. I’m proud that PwC has an Advisory Board of openly gay partners serving as role models and mentors—we’re the only Big 4 firm that has this. As a gay professional, I’ve been able to network with peers through our local GLBT group. I give 100% to this job. And PwC encourages me to bring 100% of myself to work.
