What is this all about? The Oakland Indie Awards is a celebration of independent businesses and artists who give back to the community! It's a chance for Oakland to recognize the positive impacts of supporting our local economy. From March 1 through March 31, 2016, the nominations process is open to the public. Anyone can submit their favorite indie business or artist to be considered for an award. Two judging panels comprised of community and business leaders, entrepreneurs, service provider experts, creatives, and Oakland-lovers convene during April to select the winners. The Oakland Indie Awards party is a huge celebration that honors the winners. It's open to the public and takes place on Thursday, May 12, 2016 at the Oakland Museum. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door.
