Pantheon of Leather XXII
Awards Nominations 2012
The entire Leather community is invited to participate in the first round of the awards process by submitting nominations electronically. Properly submitted nominations will be passed on to a Nominations Committee which will select Nominee Finalists which will then be sent to a Selection Panel composed of individuals who received awards in 2011. This panel will vote and decide the winners.
