Dorian Awards#2017

The Dorian Awards honor film, television and Broadway / Off-Broadway productions at separate times of the year. Dorian film nominees and winners for the previous calendar year are announced in January and February, while TV nominees and winners for the previous television season are typically announced in June and August. The Dorian Theater Awards were added in 2023, with a separate wing of the society consisting of 31 members announcing its inaugural winners June 1 of that year.BroadwayWorld, May 3, 2023, by Stephi Wild [https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Galeca-The-Society-Of-LGBTQ-Entertainment-Critics-Announces-Inaugural-Dorian-Theater-Awards-20230503/ "Galeca: The Society Of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics Announces Inaugural Dorian Theater Awards"]

Due to COVID-19 pandemic's effects on the film business, for its 2021 film awards, GALECA adjusted its window of eligibility to movies released in 2020 and the first two months of 2021. The 2022 Dorian film awards considered movies released in the remaining months of 2021. In that two-year period, award contenders vied for "Best Film" rather than "Film of the Year," which the group restored in 2023.

Also in 2023, GALECA introduced the Crimson Honors, a college journalism contest for aspiring film and TV critics, focused on elevating female and nonbinary students of color in the LGBTQ community.
