Method
Recommendations may be made by anyone. A panel of judges produces short lists and then votes on the winners. The full rules are online here. The judges are kept anonymous for personal safety reasons (we assume because of their sexuality, not because of who they gave awards to).

Works must have been first published in North America in English.

A trophy: “an etched image on lucite on a stand, using a spiral galaxy in a triangle logo”. Winners of the two fiction categories also get a small cash prize.
