In February 2020, 850 submissions where sent into the final poll of upstart Loring Collective’s 2020 Loring Awards. The Collective was humbled to receive such a large response in support of Twin Cities queer creatives as it shows how strong the community is. Below is the official list of the results of our 8 categories for everyone to see. 

We wish to stress that all of our nominees should be proud as they are well deserving of their nominations, and just because a nominee didn’t win does not mean we will not seek to support and feature said nominees in whatever ways we can. Every category was EXTREMELY competitive with the winners in some categories winning by under .5% of the total vote. By doing a voter based awards program, we aimed to increase recognition and sense of local queer community amongst all of our nominees. As we believe we have succeeded in doing just that, we intend to continue voter-based awards for future Loring Awards in years to come. Find out more about the 2021 Loring Awards here.
