San Diego is at the forefront of change in the LGBT community not only locally, but worldwide, and every year the people who are directly involved with those changes are recognized with Nicky nominations. 

Sunday night was filled with big hair, big surprises and some of the biggest members and allies of the LGBT community for the 43rd annual Nicky Awards which took place at The Marriott Courtyard at Liberty Station. 

It's not only the local LGBT men and women who will be honored at the 43rd annual Nicky Awards this year, but their longtime allies as well.

Every year the Nick Awards honor those in San Diego who have given their time and effort to positively affect the LGBT community. 

From Outstanding New Business, to Woman of the Year and everything in between, the Nicky's have become a way to show appreciation for those who make a difference. 

Get ready for the one night when the stars of the San Diego LGBT community come out as The Nicky Awards return for their 41st year. 

This prestigious event will be held on Sunday, Nov. 13, at the Handlery Hotel in Mission Valley.

Organizers had to postpone the show until later this year to find a new awards venue after a snafu happened with the original one.

It’s that time of year again, the 41st  Annual Nicky Awards are coming to the Marriot Mission Valley on August 28, 2016.

This eagerly awaited awards show celebrates those in the San Diego LGBT community who provide, services, support, information or just plain fun to the many people who call this city home.
