Welcome to the Readers Voice Awards 2012, the My Gay Texas Edition, including Reader's Voice Photo Contest.

This is your chance to give us YOUR opinion on the best places to drink, dance, dine, shop and live in Your Gay Texas. Your vote can make a difference! There is a comment section at the end of each category, so make your best case for your favs. We may just print it.

  >  You do not need to vote in every category or item for your ballot to be counted.
  >  You may vote in as many of the 10 categories as you wish. The more categories you enter, the more times you are entered for the free tickets drawing.
  >  You may NOT vote multiple times in the same category. Multiple entries are thrown out and disqualified for the AA ticket drawing.

One winner will be randomly selected to win two round trip tickets on American Airlines good for travel in the U.S. 48 states, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean. To be eligible to win you must enter your contact information. If a drawing is made of an entry without contact information, that entry will be declared ineligible, discarded, and the next randomly selected entry will be used.
