DIVA Award Winners
The winners of the DIVA Awards were announced on Friday at a special awards ceremony at the Hilton Waldorf. The DIVA Awards pay tribute to the lesbian, bisexual, trans and queer people making a difference in all walks of life, and is one of the most anticipated events in the lesbian calendar.
Founder of the Awards, Linda Riley said: “The DIVA Awards is a fantastic event that honours those who are committed to raising awareness for the lesbian, trans and bisexual communities.
“We’re proud of everyone who won big tonight and all of the shortlisters involved – each and every one of them make a difference to the LGBTQ+ community.”
