The Awards start before the form opens. Think about the people, groups, events and workplaces that deserve to be recognised.
Before nominations open
Start with the person who made the year better. The group that kept people connected. The event that gave people a reason to show up. The workplace that did more than put up a flag.
That is why nominations matter. A good nomination does not need to be polished. It needs to be clear: what did they do, who did it help, and why should the community know about it?
Prepare now
A person, group, event, employer, organisation, project or initiative.

Tell us who it helped and what made it important for LGBTQIA+ communities.
