Voting Page Supported by Our Visionary Sponsor Dallas Area Rapid Transit

Welcome to the 7th Annual Best of Black Dallas Awards—where Black Dallas decides who represents the best of our community.

Presented by Dallas Weekly, Best of Black Dallas celebrates the entrepreneurs, creatives, leaders, businesses and organizations shaping our city and moving our culture forward.

No pay-to-play. No panel choosing the winners. The community nominates, the community votes, and the community decides.

This year, we’ve narrowed the celebration to 20 standout categories representing the people and places that make Black Dallas exceptional.

For 72 years, Dallas Weekly has been the voice of Black Dallas. Now, we’re handing the mic to you.

Nominate. Vote. Celebrate our own.
