The British LGBT Awards 2016 are due to take place on 13 May and the shortlist for this year has now been revealed. Adele, Zayn Malik, Stephen Fry, Sam Smith and many others have been nominated this year, with voting now open to the public to decide the ultimate winners.

There are a number of categories for this year's awards ceremony, including a special "media moment", brand or marketing campaign, and the most LGBT-friendly travel destination. Last year Tom Daley took him the award for LGBT sports personality, while Daniel Radcliffe and Lorraine Kelly were awarded with the celebrity straight ally. Rylan Clark took home the award for LGBT celebrity.

The public can now cast their votes for each celebrity and consumer category via the British LGBT Awards website. A judging panel has been selected to rate a separate list of corporate categories, including inspirational role model, employer/company and corporate rising star.
