2010 OUTstanding Awards

The 2010 OUTstanding Awards

Scott Neff

OUTstanding Bar or Nightclub: Albuquerque Social Club

The Alibi was very proud indeed to join Albuquerque Pride in co-presenting the first-ever OUTstanding Awards, designed to honor the best in gay and gay-allied Albuquerque. We invited the community to nominate and vote for OUTstanding recipients in January and February. The winners were announced in a glittery, sealed-envelope ceremony on Saturday, March 6, at the Radisson Hotel ballroom. In addition to bringing much-deserved recognition to Albuquerque’s LGBT population and supporters, the night was a blast!

The paper extends its thanks and congratulations to Albuquerque Pride, those who voted, the ceremony attendees, the nominees and, of course, the inaugural OUTstanding Award recipients. We hope to see you at next year’s awards!
