Write in your royalty

Once upon a redo

✦ Voting closes Friday, Sept 11

There's no shortlist. Eleven superlatives and the Prom Royalty court, all written in by you. Fill in the ones you know and skip the rest. Everyone you write in is told they're in the running, so add their email if you have it — and if you don't, no sweat, your vote counts all the same.

Superlatives

Eleven crowns for the season you just had

Mayor of the Pines

You somehow know every resident, every guest, every house code, and every piece of gossip before it becomes public knowledge. Whether elected or self-appointed, your campaign platform is "see you at tea."

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Dick Dock Diva

Part socialite, part lifeguard, part mythological boardwalk dweller. You've spent so much time at the Dick Dock this summer that some people genuinely assume you pay property taxes there.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

THE Homo Historian

The keeper of queer lore. You can tell us who owned the house, who dated whom, what party happened there in 1998, and why we're still talking about it. Without you, half of Pines culture would be lost to the tides.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Best Beach Bum

While others were chasing invitations and schedules, you mastered the art of doing absolutely nothing beautifully. Sandy, sun-kissed, and somehow always exactly where the vibe is.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Best Maximista

More is more, and somehow still not enough. Whether it's fashion, decor, accessories, stories, or entrances, subtlety never stood a chance when you arrived.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Best House Mother

Provider of snacks, sunscreen, emotional support, spare chargers, and unsolicited but accurate advice. Your house wasn't just a house, it was a sanctuary.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

After Hours Creature

Nobody knows exactly when you went to sleep because nobody ever saw it happen. While others were heading home, you were simply entering your natural habitat.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Blooming Newbie

You arrived not knowing a soul and left with enough friends, stories, and invitations to write your own Pines survival guide. Consider yourself officially initiated.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

The Judy Garland Path Finder

No matter where the party started, where the tea ended, or who texted "Where are you?", you were already en route. You've logged more trips this season between Pines and Cherry Grove than the actual ferry. If there were reward points for social commuting, you'd be H2O Diamond Elite.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Season Heartthrob

Crushes were formed. Group chats were created. Sightings were reported. Whether you intended to or not, you had the Pines collectively saying, "Wait… who's that?"

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Super Ally

Showing up, speaking up, and lifting up the community with genuine love and support. You understood that allyship isn't a title, it's an action, and you brought it all season long.

Your pick (first and last name)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Prom Royalty

Two crowns, given live on the floor

Prom Royalty

In every fairy tale, there are characters who bring magic to everyone around them. This honor goes to the two individuals whose kindness, confidence, charm, and presence helped make Fire Island 2026 unforgettable. They also remind us that it's never too late to celebrate who we are, dance with the people we love, and rewrite our story exactly as it was meant to be told.

Your first pick

Name (first and last)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Your second pick

Name (first and last)

Their email (optional — add it and we'll tell them they're nominated, so they have every reason to be at the party. Don't know it? Your vote still counts.)

Twelve categories, thirteen crowns. Hero Awards are chosen by the organizers, so they aren't on the ballot.

On this device, your picks save as you go. Nothing is counted until you submit, and once you submit your ballot is final.
