Over a Decade of Recognising Excellence in Victoria’s LGBTIQA+ Community
We proudly celebrated the Victorian Pride Awards – our state’s premier programme recognising, highlighting and uplifting the organisations and individuals whose work benefits and unites our LGBTIQA+ communities. What began as the GLOBE Community Awards has grown into the inclusive celebration we know today.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s ceremony and gala. Stay tuned for our entertainment line-up, which has previously featured artists such as Isaiah Firebrace, Samantha Jade and Sheldon Riley – it’s always an unforgettable night!
Keep an eye out for details for the 12th Victorian Pride Awards – we look forward to celebrating excellence with you again soon.

Our Approach to Recognising Excellence
The Victorian Pride Awards involves a thorough evaluation by independent judges selected from outside our organisation who represent our community. Nominations are carefully vetted and scored, with the highest-ranking submissions advancing to a shortlist.
Judges consider each finalist holistically, taking into account intersectionality, diversity, community contribution, and demonstrated impact. They reach consensus to determine winners, with special attention to addressing equity in their considerations.
The awards celebrate outstanding contributions to our LGBTIQA+ community, while recognising that all finalists represent exceptional dedication and impact.
Message from the Premier
In Victoria, equality is not negotiable.
Instead, we’re proud to be a place where everyone can be who they truly are.
That hasn’t happened by accident. It’s because LGBTIQA+ organisations and individuals have fought long and hard.
As a Government, we’re very proud to stand with you – not just talking the talk on equality, but walking the walk.
That includes building the Australian-first Victorian Pride Centre. Delivering adoption equality. Ensuring trans and gender diverse Victorians have a birth certificate that reflects their true identity. And putting an end to harmful so-called conversion practices.
And we are proud to back the organisations that support and celebrate equality.
For more than 10 years, the GLOBE Victorian Pride Awards have recognised the achievements of LGBTIQA+ communities.
They have ensured LGBTIQA+ individuals are not only visible, but celebrated. I want to congratulate all the nominees and winners – and to say an enormous thank you. Thank you for helping to make our state a safer, kinder and more inclusive place. It’s something we can all be proud of.
Hon Jacinta Allan MP (she/her)
Premier of Victoria
Message from the Minister for Equality
Congratulations to all the nominees and organisers that help bring this wonderful event to life each year – one that I am so very pleased to support.
Now in their eleventh year, these awards have celebrated the achievements of individuals, organisations and businesses bringing positive benefits for LGBTIQA+ communities.
We’re a government which is working hard to ensure that everyone is free to love who they want and be who they are – because in Victoria, equality is not negotiable.
Hon Vicki Ward MP
Minister for Equality
