The nominations for the Pinc List 2025 are now open, as announced by Wales Online in collaboration with Pride Cymru. This annual list aims to celebrate and honour individuals within the LGBT+ community who have significantly contributed to making lives better in Wales. The list consists of 40 main figures and a separate list of emerging stars who are already making a positive impact, whether they are new to the community or to Wales.
The Pinc List will be revealed during the Pride Cymru weekend, set to take place on June 21st and June 22nd in Cardiff. Tickets for the event, featuring headliners like Ella Henderson and Kimberly Wyatt, are available for purchase online. The organisers promise more exciting announcements regarding additional acts, as well as details about the iconic Pride Cymru parade, which draws together around 50,000 people over the two-day celebration.
To nominate a deserving individual for the Pinc List, certain criteria must be met. The nominee should be a member of the LGBT+ community either born and raised in Wales or having a significant residency in the country. The emphasis is on individuals who have a lasting influence on the LGBT+ community beyond their professional roles. Nominators are encouraged to highlight both established figures and rising stars who have made waves in the past year.
When putting forward a nomination, details required include the nominee’s name, a justification for their inclusion on the list, contact information for both the nominator and the nominee, and confirmation that the nominee consents to the nomination. Those who were on the 2024 list will automatically be reconsidered, but additional accomplishments from the past year can be brought to the attention of the selection panel.
The Pride Cymru weekend serves as a vibrant platform for the LGBT+ community to converge and celebrate diversity and inclusivity. With a variety of events and performances lined up, the occasion aims to foster unity and pride among attendees. The announcement of the Pinc List during this weekend adds an extra dimension of recognition and appreciation for those who have championed the rights and welfare of the LGBT+ population in Wales.
As the nominations for the Pinc List 2025 are underway, the anticipation builds for the unveiling of the final list that will spotlight the remarkable individuals who have dedicated themselves to advancing equality and acceptance within the LGBT+ community in Wales. The collaboration between Wales Online and Pride Cymru underscores the importance of acknowledging and uplifting those who have made a difference, ensuring their contributions are recognised and celebrated.
