Diversity partners

Five years ago we set ourselves the target of becoming the most inclusive awards programme. Working with our partners Outvertising, Culture Heroes and Creative Equals we’ve been able to create juries that not only bring expertise and rigour to the judging process but are truly representative of the diverse audiences the work is targeting.

For the fifth year running we’ve met, and in some cases, exceeded targets around gender, LGBTQ+ and ethnic minorities representation and continue to welcome new talent from across the UK.
