Q&A

What are the UK Pride Awards?

The UK Pride Awards celebrate diversity and excellence within the LGBTQ+ community. Our mission is to honour the achievements and contributions of individuals, organizations, and allies.

Beyond recognizing top talents, the event supports participants by offering free promotion across social media, magazines, and other platforms. With a wide range of categories, the awards highlight some of the most inspiring talent within the community.

Our Mission

Our mission is to destigmatize LGBTQ+ identities while offering unwavering support and promotion to those in the community. We strive to empower individuals to embrace their authentic selves and celebrate their identities in a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free environment.

Our Vision

We envision a vibrant and connected LGBTQ+ community where individuals can network, form friendships, and celebrate their identities. By promoting participating brands and individuals to mainstream and LGBTQ+ audiences alike, we foster an inclusive and supportive environment for all.

How We Achieve This

We empower individuals to celebrate their identities respectfully and authentically. By encouraging positive interactions and engagement, we create an exceptional event where everyone can freely express who they are in a welcoming space.

Our Message

Embracing your true self is powerful and transformative. We encourage all our participants, fans, and followers to confidently explore and celebrate their identities.

Our Vibe

The UK Pride Awards provide a fun and exciting platform for the LGBTQ+ community in a safe and inclusive space. We are proud supporters of diversity, acceptance, and a welcoming environment for all.

Who We Are

We are a team of LGBTQ+ advocates, creatives, web designers, tech professionals, and allies united by a shared goal: to create a world-class, inclusive awards event. Since our inception, we have collaborated with well-known activists and emerging talents to bring passion, creativity, and innovation to this celebration of excellence.

Promotion Opportunities

All participants receive free promotion across our social media platforms and through targeted marketing campaigns. On the night of the event, nominees can gain additional exposure through press coverage, interviews, and event filming, ensuring their visibility continues long after the awards.

Voting

Winners are chosen by public vote, reflecting the preferences of a broad audience. Fans can vote once every 24 hours. To maximize engagement, we recommend pinning your voting link to your social media accounts for easy access. Encourage your fans to vote daily to increase your chances of winning.

The winners will be announced during our June 2025 ceremony.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are international participants allowed to enter?
Although the awards are hosted in England, we welcome applicants from around the world. We believe in inclusivity and providing a platform for all individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, regardless of location.

Why are winners chosen by public vote?
Public voting ensures fairness and minimizes bias. Unlike a small panel of judges, public votes reflect the preferences of a broader audience. This system also rewards those who actively engage with their fans and promote their work.

Why is self-nomination allowed?
Self-nomination encourages newer and emerging talents to participate. This ensures a level playing field and provides an opportunity for smaller brands or individuals to gain exposure and recognition.

What if I have a smaller following?
Winning is just one aspect of the awards. All participants benefit from free promotion, networking opportunities with industry professionals, and potential career growth. Many past entrants have gained new followers, collaborators, and career opportunities through their participation.

Why do the awards sell tickets? Do nominees need one?
Nominees do not need a ticket—entry is free for all participants. Ticket sales to non-entrants help offset event costs, including the venue, lighting, and entertainment. This allows us to keep the event accessible and offer free promotion for participants.

Can people remain private for personal reasons?
While the awards primarily celebrate individuals open about their LGBTQ+ identities, attendees who prefer privacy are welcome. We offer a supportive space where all participants can feel comfortable expressing themselves in a way that aligns with their personal choices.
