THE GALA & LGBTQIAPN+ People's Choice Awards

The GALA & People’s Choice Awards is an event dedicated to honoring and celebrating the vibrant and diverse LGBTQIAPN+ community in Victoria. It serves as a powerful platform to showcase the talents, achievements, and contributions of individuals from all backgrounds and identities.  

This award holds significant importance as it not only acknowledges the remarkable accomplishments of LGBTQIAPN+ individuals but also underscores the ongoing efforts to foster inclusivity, acceptance, and equity for all members of the community.  

By recognising and challenging biases that may hinder LGBTQIAPN+ individuals from achieving equality in all aspects of life, the GALA & People’s Choice Awards actively promotes social change and advocates for a more inclusive society. Through this celebration, we strive to uplift and empower LGBTQIAPN+ individuals, amplify their voices, and inspire others to embrace diversity and promote equality.  

By honoring their achievements and contributions, we aim to create a more supportive and inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or ethnicity, can thrive and be celebrated for who they are.
