About the Prism Awards
The Prism Awards, formerly the Ally Awards, is One Colorado’s annual gala to honor individuals and organizations who have made a substantive difference in the lives of LGBTQ Coloradans and their families. The event will be hosted on Saturday, August 20th from 6pm – 10pm at the Denver Art Museum. The evening will kick off with a cocktail reception and silent auction in the courtyard with a hosted bar and heavy hors d’oeuvres. Guests will then move to the pavilion and attendees will enjoy an awards ceremony with special guest speakers, delectable desserts, and champagne.
Why Prism?
A prism refracts light into a spectrum of colors. For One Colorado, a prism represents our foundational community, the essential values of clarity and transparency, and the necessity of public awareness and engagement to illuminate a rainbow representing a multi-dimensional society. The Prism Awards reflects One Colorado’s efforts to amplify inclusive and intersectional work, advancing equality for all LGBTQ Coloradans and their families.
Silent Auction
Thanks to the generosity of individuals and businesses across the state, this year’s silent auction has over 40 packages of the most unique and desirable items, events, and experiences from across Colorado and beyond! Bidding begins at 12pm on Monday, August 15th and closes at 9:30pm on Saturday, August 20th. You do not have to attend the Prism Awards to bid on items. Access the silent auction here!
