1,500 votes were cast, narrowing the nominees down to three in each category. Nominees for 2020 include presenter Alex Beresford, baker Briony May and broadcaster David Olusoga.

Former Bristol Rovers “legend” Carl Saunders will also be recognised for his work in combating racism in grassroots football.

Bristol Diversity Awards also hope to acknowledge to be given to the “controversial Colston five” who helped to topple of the Edward Colston statue in June 2020.
