Presentation Ceremony in the Axis Restaurant, One Aldwych Hotel, Covent Garden, June 20, 7 pm

The award recognises an artist or performer who has made an outstanding contribution to their art form.

The London Awards for Art and Performance are the country's most expansive awards and recognises the best in British art and entertainment across 11 categories.

Nominations are based on recent and highly rated reviews of the artist or performer's work, and a recognition of their talent and skill in their art form.

As current and excellent practitioners of their art, the nominees themselves are the best people to judge each category. We'll be asking nominees to pick their top artists or performers to arrive at the shortlist and award winner who will receive the trophy. The shortlist and winner will be announced at the Presentation Ceremony.

Public voting is now open in all the awards. Please vote on the award page where you can see the results. Click on category to go to the page. All nominees below with their nomination dates.
