Gibraltar Cultural Services, on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, is pleased to announce the phonelines for the 2025 Cultural Awards. The Awards celebrate the best of Gibraltar’s arts and culture, recognising potential, ability, talent and achievements throughout Gibraltar’s cultural community.

The Cultural Awards Board is comprised of The Hon. Fabian Vinet, Paula Latin, Ernest Gomez, Suyenne Perez Catania and Seamus Byrne. After a public call for nominations, the Board reviewed these alongside other individuals and groups who have made notable contributions over the past year and beyond, before drawing up a shortlist in the following categories.

As part of the process, the public is encouraged to vote for their preferred nominees. The public lines will run from 1st to 26th September with the support of Gibtelecom, who will be providing the charity telephone numbers. Calls cost £1, with all proceeds donated to the GBC Open Day. Only Gibtelecom landlines and mobiles can access the lines.
