THE BRITISH LGBT AWARDS COMMUNITY: Getting started

What is it?

A community network to collaborate, connect and showcase. The community is a networking opportunity for guests at the British LGBT Awards, curated by community members. The British LGBT Awards and our partners will host digital events and exclusives throughout the year, showcasing our winners and Top 10s and giving our like-minded members a space to share news, views and story-tell their experiences. Invited members receive exclusive access to the British LGBT Awards build up, ceremony and ‘back stage’.

• A virtual community network. Built by the British LGBT Awards but created for, contributed to and curated by community members
• The community is accessible via web (members.lgbtawards.network) or mobile
• Invited members get access to spaces and access to sponsors, Top 10s, judges and British LGBT Awards content
• Up to 2,000 members will be invited to join

Why has it been created?

• A space to connect, collaborate, story-tell and recognise. Find connections and networking with those with common interests
• A space to access all things British LGBT Awards, including digital events throughout the year
• A space where invited members can access community-only exclusives

What will the community have access to?

• British LGBT Awards – on exclusive preview stream (available on private YouTube or accessed through the community) (25^th November, 4pm-6pm)
• Exclusive member-only backstage area
• Virtual community events: via digital platforms (e.g., Zoom). Events created and curated by the British LGBT Awards, sponsors and Top 10s

How can sponsors be involved?

• Each sponsor has their own top tier ‘space’ on the platform where resources can be added. These ‘spaces’ can include your company’s ‘network’, videos, reports and external links (accepted files: wav, mp3, jpg, png, avi, mov, mp4, pdf). There is also the opportunity to add internal company events, posts or livestream sessions to your ‘space’
• Each sponsor will have a network, which will be private (for their invited members) and people can ask to join
• Sponsors can record a video or do a livestream to introduce / welcome members to their network
• Sponsors can create and host LGBT+-relevant events (shared in their space and to the whole community)
• Sponsors can share their organisation’s LGBT+ resources
• Sponsors can provide updates on the organisations initiatives and activity within the LGBT+ sector
