Grand Marshal Nomination Form
Use this form to nominate a Grand Marshal for the 2026 Atlanta Pride Parade
A few considerations before you begin:
You are welcome to submit multiple nominees, but each separate nomination requires a new form to be completed: Only one group or individual is allowed per form.
Grand Marshal selections are based on the nominee's merits, not the number of submitted nomination forms.
Nominees of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions are welcome. Individual nominees must reside in Georgia.
Organizational nominees must be based in Georgia. Atlanta Pride encourages the nomination of individuals or groups with strong ties to our local and state communities. However, national and international work will be considered as a part of the nomination.
While it is not required that you personally know the individual you are nominating, we do encourage some personal interaction with the individual/group. An inability to provide the nominee's contact information may make it difficult for Atlanta Pride to contact them if they are selected to serve. If we cannot contact the individual/group, they will not be able to serve as Grand Marshal.
Before you submit an application, nominees should be aware of the nomination process. Not everyone is willing to serve as an Ambassador in this way, so their approval is requested.
Being a Grand Marshal of the Atlanta Pride Parade is an honor. It is meant to recognize individuals and organizations within the LGBTQ+ Community for their contributions, particularly within the state of Georgia. Therefore, Atlanta Pride does not pay appearance fees or compensate Grand Marshals for their participation.
Atlanta Pride does NOT accept nominations of any individuals currently running for political office, as this may give the appearance of an endorsement.
A completed Nomination Form must be submitted to nominate an individual or organization as a Grand Marshal of the Atlanta Pride Parade.
