Today (**Friday, November 24**), **Gaydio** has announced the shortlist for the **Gaydio Pride Awards 2024** with **Hilton**, a ceremony dedicated to recognising and celebrating the efforts made to better LGBTQ+ lives in the UK. **Lunch Positive**, the local HIV charity in Brighton, has been shortlisted for the **LGBTQ+ Enterprise Award**, while **Phil Gale** at the **Sussex Beacon** has been shortlisted for **Volunteer of the Year Award** – full list below!

Those shortlisted for the 13 award categories, will be honoured at a glitzy ceremony in February 2024 at **Manchester**’s Hilton hotel, where guests will enjoy an evening of celebration – joined by a hoard of famous faces attending as guests and performers.

The 2023 ceremony, hosted by Gaydio’s breakfast show presenters **Paris & Dave**, saw a performance from top 10 selling artist Raye, a DJ set from Sigala and a showstopping performance from **Danny Beard**, winner o*f Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK* (season 4).

The Gaydio Pride Awards 2024 with Hilton will focus on regional and grassroots efforts, giving thanks to the unsung heroes within the community – 10 of the 13 categories were opened to the public in October, giving people the chance to shine a light on the individuals, charities, events and organisations making a positive difference to the lives of the LGBTQ+ community across the UK.

The nominees have since been whittled down to an official shortlist, where an eventual winner will be picked out by Gaydio’s panel of five independent community judges.
