The Hero & Heroine Awards are GaydarRadio's way of celebrating LGBT History Month, recognising the people who influence and make a difference to the LGBT community. Every Sunday for 12 weeks, GaydarRadio will be interviewing one of these very people. Voting for the Hero & Heroine Awards opens soon!

Join us this Sunday from 9am to find out who's our next Hero or Heroine of the Week.

Nominations have now closed. Look out for the voting, which opens soon! There are ten Hero and Heroine categories including Pop Artist, Campaigner, Fictional Character, Writer and Hero or Heroine of the Year. The top five finalists in each category will then be pitted against each other and you, the public, will vote for the most heroic recipients.
