As a board member of the National LGBT Federation, an annual event to celebrate volunteers, allies and events in the community called the GALAS takes place in Dublin, and I was asked to design the award. A new award would become the symbol of the event and the Federation’s aims. The process involved the workshops in NCAD and the emerging form takes the shape of a Perspex G to represent the GALAS. The colours of the rainbow flag are interlayered and the 3D gong is now a revered award to have on your mantelpiece. The GALAS event has gone from strength to strength with with 550 attending the 2016 event in the Mansion House, Dublin.
