Awards
British LGBT Awards
In 2014, the concept of the British LGBT Awards was born, with the aim of shining a spotlight on our role models and those organisations who are working tirelessly to better the needs of LGBT+ people. The first official British LGBT Awards event launched in 2015.
Literature Awards
June 2023, Lambda Literary Awards
Created over 30 years ago to recognize the crucial role LGBTQ writers play in shaping the world, the Lammys celebrate the very best in LGBTQ literature. The 2021 Lammy Awards ceremony went virtual this year to share the celebration with as many members of our community as possible despite pandemic restrictions. The event was hosted by Rakesh Satyal and including a performance from Meshell Ndegeocello. To re-watch the ceremony, check it out on YouTube.
Polari Prize
The award program’s organizers say it’s the only such program in the United Kingdom specifically dedicated to LGBTQ culture. Both titles named as winners this year are said “underscore the significance of [clubs] in providing a safe space in which the LGBTQ+ community can be their true selves.
New Writing from Ireland
The Art of the Glimpse is a radical
revision of the canon of the Irish story,
uniting classic works with neglected
writers and marginalised voices –
women, LGBT writers, Traveller folk-tales,
neglected 19th-century authors and
the first wave of ‘new Irish’ writers from
all over the world now making a life in
Ireland. Sinéad Gleeson brings together
stories that range from the most sublime
realism to the downright bizarre and
transgressive, some from established
literary figures and some that have not
yet been published in book form.
European Diversity Awards
Launched in 2010, the European Diversity Awards are now firmly established as the continent’s most prestigious and widely-respected diversity event. Attended by leading lights from business, politics and the media, the EDA recognises those individuals and organisations whose outstanding leadership has made a genuine difference to the equality, diversity and inclusion agenda.
We recognise achievement across all strands of diversity: race, age, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and belief.
