QUEER OF THE YEAR

The individual student whose winning work and achievements have had the biggest impact and best embody the founding values of The Queer Student Awards.

The QUEER OF THE YEAR is chosen from the winners of the following categories once these have been decided by the judging panel:

• Activist

• Rising Star

• Role Model: Student

• Unsung Hero

The ‘Queer of the Year’ will be someone that is seen as a legacy builder. They are likely to have focused their work on campaigns, projects and initiatives that ensure positive changes for LGBTQ+ people in the UK - and potentially further afield - are upheld for years to come. They will often be working alongside others to ensure their efforts won’t go to waste.
