Windy City Times will again mark Pride Month with its annual 30 Under 30 Awards.
The ceremony will take pace Wed, June 24.
There will be a 5:30 p.m. reception, with the program being 6-7:30 p.m.
Honorees are 30 years or under as of June 30, and have made some substantial contributions to the Chicagoland LGBT community, whether in the fields of entertainment, politics, health, activism, academics, sports or other areas.
Nominations are due Friday, April 24.
Windy City Times Managing Editor Matt Simonette coordinates the awards program for the paper. Hundreds of people have been honored by the paper in the more than 10 years since the awards were established.
Most honorees have gone on to great success in their careers and educations, including working for the Obama presidential campaign and administration, plus individual successes in music, legal, professional and academic careers and much more. |
