In 2016, the BEAM Awards are set to make a statement to over 50 million proud Brits as ITV confirm they will broadcast coverage of the spectacular ceremony.

With the aim to bring communities together and highlight the phenomenal achievements of BAME icons nationwide, The BEAM Awards will secure partnerships to strengthen ties between minority groups, and send out a positive memorandum across all platforms to showcase high profile influencers.

As the first ceremony of its kind to be broadcast by a mainstream channel, the awards are set to mark a significant occasion for the diversity agenda. With a fundamental passion to drive change, The BEAM Awards are making great strides to make a lasting and sustainable difference across the media industry and beyond.
