*** ABOUT THE HONOUR AWARDS ***
Established in 2007, the Honour Awards provides NSW’s LGBTQ+ communities with an important opportunity to recognise excellence and celebrate achievements, as well as the difference that particular community members and organisations make in our lives.
The Honour Awards ceremony is one of ACON’s most cherished events, and this year they are taking place within a broader statewide celebration of pride, progress and resilience. We invite community to join us in recognising outstanding LGBTQ+ community service and achievements.
