Meet our judges

“I want to be a judge this year is because I want to give something to my communities and also to help the new winners feel valued. I also really love helping to choose new winners for this year’s ward. I would love to be a part of helping them transform their lives.”

“My work with Conwy Connect and All Wales People First makes me really happy and I’ve met a lot of good friends through it. I like helping other people with learning disabilities.”

“I agreed to be a judge, I know what its all about and I read everyone story last year. I think it will be a good experience.”

“I’m glad I have the opportunity to be a judge, I look forward to reading about the entries!”

“I am very interested in seeing and hearing other people’s stories and achievements. I also really enjoy Judging and would love to be included in the decision-making process.”

Denbo’s book, I Wanna Tell You My Story, is about her family, her school experience and the times when she was at a low point in her life. It’s also about joy – the joy of singing on stage, joining Pride marches, doing meaningful work.

“I feel I have a responsibility to talk about this, to use my voice and platform, and to make it easier for other people. I feel it is my duty to do so.”

“The MacIntyre Dancers work together to create a welcoming dance environment and they strive to establish an inclusive setting where everyone can dance, freely engage, communicate and simply enjoy being together.”
