This is your chance to shine a light on the everyday heroes, quiet achievers, and bold changemakers who make our community safer, stronger, and more joyful.

Whether they work behind the scenes or take centre stage, we want to hear about the people, groups, and initiatives that are creating real impact. This is a grassroots, volunteer-led celebration — nominations are open to everyone in the LGBTQIAPN+ community and our allies across Victoria and surrounds.

These awards are not about titles or popularity.
They’re about belonging.
They’re about showing up.
They’re about community-led change.

Nominate someone whose work has touched lives — including your own.

We have a range of categories to recognise all kinds of contributions:

Community Leader of the Year – Sponsored by With Pride Finance
Grassroots Champion
Volunteer of the Year
Performer or Artist of the Year
Storyteller or Media Maker of the Year
Regional Spotlight Award
First Nations LGBTQIAPN+ Voice
Inclusive Organisation or Initiative of the Year – Sponsored by Joy Media
Euphoria Social Family Award

Can’t find a category that fits? No worries. Some people just don’t fit neatly into a box — maybe they’re a fashion icon, a community motivator, or a joy-bringer whose impact is felt in countless small ways. These nominees can go into the People’s Choice – Special Recognition Award, letting the community celebrate those who make a real difference in ways that can’t be captured in a title.
