​UNSUNG HERO

Picture

BRAND OR ORGANISATION
​OF THE YEAR

When a well-known brand or company flies the flag for LGBTQI equality and acceptance, people really sit up and notice. Help give your fave a slap on the back and a big Team DIVA-shaped thank you.

STORYLINE OF THE YEAR

Mainstream TV and radio dramas often feature LGBTQI-focused storylines, helping to tell our stories to people who otherwise might never come across the issues we face. If any of these storylines stand out to you, now’s the time to let us know.
​

AWESOME ALLY
​OF THE YEAR

 We’re better together. Having people who don’t identify as LGBTQI on our side – and whose words and deeds demonstrate their solidarity – is a wonderful thing. Who do you think deserves this coveted accolade?
