The Great British Pantomime Awards, which will be held on Sunday 15th April 2018, have been announced. Now that the much-loved Panto season is over, The Great British Pantomime Awards are back for the second year, ready to recognise and celebrate the effort that has gone into creating the family favourite shows across the country. Sam Munday-Webb, co-founder said ‘‘We knew that it was never going to be an easy job to see and judge such a vast array of productions in such a short amount of time. Since we launched in 2016 we have been very lucky to have the industry behind us supporting the awards. They are being seen as something incredibly positive and filling a gap in our industry. We want pantomime makers to aspire to innovate as well as celebrate the wonderful traditions we have seen up and down the country". There are over 20 awards up for grabs, including Best Comic, Best Male and Female Baddie, Best Ensemble as well as awards for Lighting, Design and Direction. Last year’s Lifetime Achievement Winner, Christopher Biggins will be presenting the awards on Sunday 15th April 2018 where he will be joined by other guests from Pantomimes and beyond to announce the winners and celebrate the season.
